CSS Sketch Blog hop - 5/13/2011

It is another StampTV blog hop and this time it is a sketch challenge - thanks to Melissa Cash for the great sketch! Circle cards are not usually my favorite but I really had fun with these!  You should have arrived from Sharri Seffens blog and I am quite certain that she wowed you!

Here is my first card and I used some of my favorite floral sets called Spring Florals.  The designer paper was a gift and it is called Juliane by K & Company. I colored the flowers using my Copics and did the flowers twice so I could pop them up. The butterfly is from a MS punch and I used some pearl ex on it to make it shine and shimmer just like a butterfly should. The bow was with some seam binding ribbon and the half pearls just gave the card a little more character.

My second card is very different from the first, in fact it was the first card I made. I used the fun stamp set called Gleefully Yours. I stamped the musical score directly onto the GKD Pure Luxury White with black ink. I then used Versamark on the mike and used some lavender chalk to highlight the "sound". I didn't like how the post for the microphone looked so I stamped and embossed and cut out a new one then slightly popped it up. A tiny bit of ribbon, some bling on the notes and ribbon and a charm to finish it off.
