Time for sketches! #91 and Mojo Monday #82

Happy Thursday Everyone!!! It's Sketches! { by tamara} again. Here is the card I made using the Sketch #91 this week.











If you want to play along, make sure you upload your link to the site so we can all check it out!
There isn't a lot of stamping on this card:-) I stamped the swirl (from Inkadinkado "Flourishes" stamp set) using Jumbo Java (VersaMagic) ink and sentiment WELCOME (from "Greetings" Heidi Grace designed).










For embellishments, I added some ribbon, Flowers, Dew Drops, Gemstones and of course, piercings.
Here's a pictures that shows the dimension better.


My second card, I made for the Mojo Monday Sketch # 82. Make sure you check out the Mojo Monday sketch challenge and see what the other ladies made. The cards are fabulous again this week.
I stamped the butterfly ("Flutter By, Butterfly" stamp from Inque Boutique) onto white c.s., using Brilliance Graphite Black ink and then colored the image with my Prismacolor markers and cut out.
Then I glued butterfly on the green embossed square. For sentiment "Celebrate" I used "Greetings" stamp set from ANW Crestwood. To finish the card, I added some Ribbon, White big button, Gemstones, Dew Drops, Cuttlebug die and Piercings.

Olena, these cards are just... well... stunning. I know I use that word a lot, but it's true. They're so beautiful. I love everything about the flourish card, and the butterfly embellishment on the the second card is my favorite!
