Pretty Fast

Here's a pretty little card I made, mostly with scraps laying on my table. I adore the blossom ribbon from American Crafts, it's so versatile! And, thanks to my girl, Sammye Jo, I have it in almost every color! ;) I added some adhesive pearls to the middle of the blossom and the sentiment is stamped on punched circles I cut in half. The stamp is Papertrey Ink, of course! Pretty and fast, just like this post... hence the title. Gotta bolt!

The next star I have to earn is in tennis... had my first lesson yesterday, it's been about 15 years since I had played. It was so much fun and an awesome workout! I'm not gunna lie, either... I can barely move today! Tennis is like riding a bike... you never forget how to do it!

Vintage Birthday?

Yes, vintage... I made a vintage birthday card for Stephen's grandmother, Mamaw. Her birthday is coming up in a few weeks. The vintage style is appealing to me, but very hard for me to create. I prefer the fun colors and whimsy style. Although, I did have fun making this card and inking it up to make it look "old."
I used the Get Sketchy card sketch for the week which is this:
And the end result: Sorry the picture is so bad. It was dark in my studio when I took the pic and using my Adobe tools just made it look worse! You get the jist! Have a great day... we are expecting a cold front! Yipee!
