Good Morning stamping friends, I hope your weekend is going good. I finished my tomatoes yesterday and took what I didn't want to town to my recruit at her restaurant and to a coworker. I blanched and cut up a whole big bowl that I will finish up today after church so I am done with it. I am tired of the mess in my kitchen and am looking forward to getting the stuff put away. It is going to be a nice day today too it looks like. Today is the last day of the In Color Ribbon special. I hope you didn't miss out on that spectacular special.
I created this card for the Unscripted Sketch Challenge which is a layout challenge. I decided to use this Postage Due set again with the Fan Fair DSP . I just took my sponges and different ink pads and sponged color onto my stamp for a collage look. I colored my Bakers Twine again and it almost looks so orangey in my picture but it is Riding Hood Red ink. HMMM??? I stamped the image again and punched out a tire with the 1-1/4" Circle Punch and popped it up with a Dimensional for some texture. The greeting on the banner is from the Summer Solstice stamp set.
Here are the details:
Stamp Sets: Postage Due, Summer Solstice
Card Stock: Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Fan Fair DSP
Inks: Island Indigo, More Mustard, Riding Hood Red Ink Pad and Refill, Crumb Cake

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.
Please let me know what you think of my card by leaving a comment. I hope you have a great Thursday and I will be back soon. Hugs, Bev
