Simply Sketched

Hi there!  Here we are with another week behind us.  Hope you had a great weekend.  Since I spent time with my stamping peeps this weekend, mine was great!  Speaking of stamping, let's get to the reason you popped in....the card.  I used a couple of neutral colored stamp pads and swiped them across a half sheet of Vanilla cardstock, then punched out a circle. (Hence the technique name, direct to paper.)  The bird image from Simply Sketched was stamped in Early Espresso ink, then colored with a bit of Pool Party ink using an Aquapen.  The grass image from Love and Sympathy was inked with a marker (omit the flower portion) and matted onto an Early Espresso square - on point.  The Decorative Dots embossing folder was used for the background panel and the banner sentiment is from a new set, Work of Art.  This set will be available in the 2014-15 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog June 2nd.  (Love the new catalog!)

Must get back to some projects.  Thank you so much for dropping by today!
