Beate's WSC #61

I can't believe that it's already another Weekend Sketch Challenge. I really like this sketch because it is simple yet very unique. Here is the sketch for this weekend.



And here is the card that I made for the sketch. I pulled out some paper that I hadn't used in a LONG time to make this card. But I love the colors together.



Recipe:
Stamp Sets: All Year Round II (Retired), Birthday Whimsy
Paper: Always Artichoke CS, Sage Shadow CS, Whisper White CS, Wintergreen DSP (Retired)
Ink: Whisper White Craft, Always Artichoke
Accessories: Always Artichoke Grosgrain Ribbon

Thanksgiving Day

Well, today is Thanksgiving Day in Canada. So, I decided to make a Thanksgiving Day card in celebration. I had never made a Thanksgiving Day card with my Thoroughly Thankful stamp set, so, I figured what better time than now. Here is the card I made:




Recipe:
Stamp Sets: Thoroughly Thankful, November (Clear Stamp Set)
Paper: Tangerine Tango CS, Always Artichoke CS, More Mustard CS, Close to Cocoa DSP (Retired), Very Vanilla CS, White Glossy Paper
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Baja Breeze
Markers: Close to Cocoa, Creamy Caramel, More Mustard, Pumpkin Pie, Really Rust, Ruby Red, Old Olive, Garden Green
Accessories: Pewter Hodgepodge Hardware (Retired), Stampin' Dimensionals
Technique: Watercolor Wash (Check out Beate's tutorial on SCS)

Halloween Bags

Well, I saw a bag like this on Beate's blog. On her blog she made a cute Christmas bag. So, I decided I would give it a try for a Halloween bag. It took me a while to get the first one done because I was having problems. But now I am on a roll. I love these cute bags.



I hope you like them.

Beate's WSC #60
