My Favorite Things Sketch Challenge #530 was designed for a slimline card, which is not my favorite, but a good challenge for me to try. The hardest part was stamping a snowman and snowy trees on a day when it's in the upper 70's where I live! I may have to save this card for next winter.
Supplies: MFT stamp set Flurry of Love, stitched die-namic, Stampin' Up Whisper White flock and chalk, Memento Ink Tuxedo Black, assorted Copic markers and dimensional adhesive.
I wasn't sure how I felt about this week's sketch challenge at My Favorite Things until I did it. Once it was done, I decided that I like the cut panels, especially for something as heart-breaking as the loss of a loved one.
Supplies: MFT Fine Line Floral stamped image; Happy Hummingbirds sentiment, Memento Tuxedo black, various Copic markers, Neenah solar white, Stampin' Up! green cardstock, Versamark, fine detail white embossing powder and Paper Studio enamel stickers.
I wonder how lemons got such a bad rep that the phrase about "when life gives you lemons" got started? And why is a kruddy car called a lemon? I know it's a rabbit hole that I could easily investigate as I sit here at the computer, but for now I'll leave it a mystery.
I actually like lemons, I adore fresh squeezed lemonade and I frequently use lemon juice in marinades and/or baking! When I saw the colors for this week's My Favorite Things Color Challenge #159, I decided right away to use the Main Squeeze stamp set along with some watercolors for the fun of it.
