Hello again stamping friends, I have another card to share that I stamped tonight for the Retro Sketch Challenge. I had a busy day today but I got my filthy car washed and that took me awhile as it hasn't been washed in weeks. The dirt was so thick on my back bumper it was ridiculous. I washed the windows and dusted inside. I just didn't want to vacuum it out and get that gravel in my vacuum. I will have to do that at a public place. I have laundry in and tomorrow is my late day so I figured I will be up a bit later today. I did go back to bed this morning and slept till 7: 30. I took my recruit friend her birthday gift and then came back home and did some junk around here and then went out to wash my car. It was a beautiful day with no wind. This weekend I better cut back the flowers around the house. Then I will be done outside for the year.
I wanted to get in this sketch and it was a very basic stamped card with a banner. You know me I have to have ribbon but hey I didn't use the Big Shot on this card. On my card base which is Rose Red I stamped the En Francais background stamp. On my second layer I used the Naturals White and stamped the Postage Due in the middle of my card and the I used the Travel Journal Builder Wheel on the top and the bottom of the main image. I sponged around my card and then added a tag. I wheeled the Travel Journal Wheel sort of lightly on my tag and then Stamped Happy Birthday from Wacky Wishes over that. I added a Round Designer Ribbon Slide with the Rose Red Seam Binding that I crumpled up and attached it by the banner. Very Easy Peasy card!
Here are the details:
Stamp Sets: Postage Due, Wacky Wishes , Travel Journal Builder Wheel
Card Stock: Rose Red, Naturals White
Inks: Rose Red, Basic Black
Tools and Accessories: Seam Binding, Round Designer Ribbon Slides, Jumbo Wheel Handle and Sprockets, Sponge, Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots.

Hi again stamping buddies, it is Mad Monday I guess as I have another card to share with you today. I am tired and want to get to bed so will get right to it. I made this card for two challenges which is Dynamic Duos, a color challenge and Sweet Sunday Sketch a layout challenge. This isn't my most favorite card ever that is for sure! I had this background done for a Christmas card from my downline meeting swap and I figured I would use it for the color. I made the banners and wheeled the Travel Journal Builder Wheel on one of the Certainly Celery Banners with Always Artichoke ink. These were the duo colors to use. I used the Autumn Accents Bigz Die again and first I had the oak leaf stamped on the rectangle but it needed something so I got out my die and cut it out and then I inked the stamp and laid my card stock on top and put a piece of printer paper over and rubbed the image onto the card stock. I stamped the Happy Thanksgiving and then colored some pearls with my Almost Artichoke marker and let them dry and then attached them to my card to match the layout.
Here are the details:
Stamp Sets: Teeny Tiny Wishes, Wonderfall, Travel Journal Builder Wheel
Card Stock: Always Artichoke, Certainly Celery
Inks: Always Artichoke Ink Pad and Marker
Tools and Accessories: Big Shot, Woodgrain Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Autumn Accents Bigz Die, Basic Pearls, Dimensionals.
