Here is a card I created for the Square Sketch Challenge in the Moxie Fab World

I interpreted the sketch fairly literally and used one of my favorite stamp sets (that has gathered a little dust)- Rustic Flowers by CTMH. I stamped it twice in orange and honey and used a pencil to round out the edges. For the sentiment, I stamped the sentiment and then used my MS score board and decided to make a pennant out of it. Then I rounded the corners.... 

Just as in the post from yesterday, I've used a few of my favorites in one card...kaft paper along with the aqua/red combo. 

I used the same faux stitching technique and added a few stamps from CTMH and SU. (is that even legal??) LOL.

kraft and aqua

Here's what I call a phase card- I go through phases where I use my favorites- kraft and aqua and woodgrain...all used on this card . 

I stamped woodgrain in CTMH desert sand, then sort of inked the edges of the layered cardstock. I stamped my favorite flower (year of flowers: violet) in the same desert sand but this time on aqua. 

I used a tracing tool for sewing and then drug my white glaze pen in the tracks for a faux sewing look and used that same pen to color in the center of the flower.

wanna go for a ride...isn't that a line in a smashing pumpkins song?? I digress. I created this card for the supah fun Let's Ride challenge going on over at Paper Issues blog. I'm really digging on the Hero Arts set of bicycle stamps and used it for this card. Stamped it 6 times, distressed the edges and added the sentiment layer (distressed that up a bit too). 

I cannot believe we're mid-August already. I'm not gonna lie...I am thrilled that fall is around the corner- it's my FAVORITE season. I don't even care that winter follows it because I love fall that much. Here's to hoping we have a long one!
