Sketch 142 and a nice day!

Sketch 142 was one of those I had to really think about first.   It took me awhile to come up with something.  This is NOT how they looked in my head....  When I stamp, I always do at least 3 of an image, so now you can tell how many attempts went into the trash by how many cards get posted.  lol
I wasn't really thrilled with how these came out, so I started digging through my drawer of stamped stuff and found an image leftover from a few weeks ago.  I could make Halloween cards forever.
The next card is from a stamp I bought in April at a show, it's by Rubbernecker.   I love their stuff.  I stamped it multiple times in a row and embossed with white embossing powder.  When I went outside to take the photos for the post, I realized that it had become a warm and beautiful day and decided it was as good a time as any to pull up the rest of the wilted flowers that got hit by Friday night's frost.
Thanks for checking in!  ~Nancy F.

  1. You've been busy again I see! That Halloween card is just awesome! I LOVE the punched rat border with that great spider web! I love how you split it into banners - that's such a great look! The last card looks great too with those pretty colors and images!

  2. I'm glad I wasn't the only one that initially had problems with this sketch! I'm with Carol -- I love, love, LOVE the Halloween card, but I think the bean ones look great, too. (LOVE that paper!) And the bottom one is just beyond pretty. I now have card envy.

  9. Fantastic cards! I love the coffee bean paper and sentiment, I'm a big time coffee drinker too. It's so cool how you cut the spiderweb paper into strips and left spaces in between them. Great take on the sketch. The 3rd one is lovely and I love how you did the stamping on the strips.

  14. I think your cards came out just fine. I also love the bean cards the best, and that web cut into the banners looks fabulous too. I can sympathize about having a disconnect when a card doesn't come out like how I've planned it in my head. No problems, here, however. They all look terrific!
