Flourishes Meets Cardmaps!!

Hello all and happy Saturday! Today I have a special treat! Some of the Flourishes gals have joined the Pagemaps team to usher in a little source of creative inspiration with Becky Fleck's latest round of Cardmaps sketches! Each designer took a different sketch and created to her heart's content!


Here's a peek at my sketch...

And here's a peek at my creation!

For my card, I used Forget Me Not Note set for the image and Inside & Out You for the sentiment. The image waas colored with Copic markers. The sentiment mat and weathered wood panel panel were die cut with Perfectly Pierced Classic Window die set. I also stamped the edge of the card base with the Forget Me Not Note stamp set.

The rest of supplies: Memento - Tuxedo Black, Cantaloupe, Bamboo Leaves, Classic Ivory cardstock, CME cardstock - Pistachio, designer papers, rhinestones

Now if you hop on over to see these ladies below, you'll get fresh inspiration with different sketches and fabulous designs! And, if you want more than that -- you'll find it just a click away HERE -- with even more sketch ideas and samples! So, hop along and have some fun!

CardMaps from PageMaps!!

 

Happy September 1st everyone~

Every quarter, Becky Fleck of PageMaps dishes out 10 fabulous sketches to get those creative juices flowing with her CardMaps. Well, this month some of the lovely ladies from Flourishes did the honors and took her sketches to bring CardMaps to life with beautiful and creative samples for each and every sketch. To check out CardMaps for September, click here (www.pagemaps.com) and then click on the CardMaps link on the left.

Here is my assigned sketch:

 

Here is my card:

 

The card size is 5x7 but it works wonderfully for the standard size 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 too. I used Flourishes Berry Sweet set for the berry image and it was colored with Copic markers. The sentiment was created with the mix of Berry Sweet (“BERRY MUCH”) and Sweet Violets (“THANK YOU”). I created 3 pleated flowers for the circles on the sketch. The way I took the photo makes the card look flat but it is very dimensional and I don’t think it’s fit in the standard thin envelop, lol. I definitely use the patted envelope for the card ;)

 

 

 

These are the list of stampers who made samples for Becky’s CardMaps for September.
