Card A Day - Week 2

Hello,

It is week two of the Card A Day in May extravaganza!  Here the sketch of this week...

This card was actually my husband's Valentine's Day Card.  He really liked it, so much so he took it to work and has it on his desk.  Glad I took pictures before I gave it to him.

Really a great sketch layout - clean and simple. The lighter blue cardstock, dark sky, was crimped to give some texture. I added some extra matting and a eyelet.  The color palette is Caboodle Set C - love those coordinating Copic markers and cardstock - makes it SO easy!

Supplies -- Stamps: For My Tweetie, Papers: Caboodle Cardstock Set C; Hardware: Cha Cha; Copics: Caboodles Set C; Tools: Crimper.

Hope you enjoy all the cards today.  Remember there will be a new card idea everyday this month on the TAC Savvy Projects Blog.  

Abundant Blessings!

A Card A Day in May - Week 1

It’s Sunday, May 1st and “A Card A Day in the Month of May” is now underway! A whole month of new ideas using sketches, plus every day is a blog hop. So we hope you will pull out your favorite TAC stamp sets and play along during May.

Sketch 1 is the featured sketch this week (May 1 – 7). I love sketches – it is really quite amazing to see how each designer “interprets” the basic elements drawn. Feel free to rotate the sketch, the dimensions are a suggestion, layer if you like and squares can be rectangles, circles, oval etc…

My card today follows the sketch quite literally. I used "Hope Perches" a Level B hostess set, papers are Winchester SWIC and cardstock. The image is colored with Copic Markers. I sponged the edges with Cognac and Burnt Umber Palette ink. The center background is pastel blue chalk.

This second card is still quite literal, however I rounded some corners and added a few brads and floss. And of course, the color palette is completely different.

Supplies: Stamp set "Good Things"; Papers Cha Cha SWIC, Bazzill Dark Sky, Beeswax, Berrylicious; Black Scrappers Floss, Silver Brads, Copic Markers.

Hope you enjoy Day 1 of "A Card a Day in the Month of May".  This sketch runs thru this week, next week there will be a new sketch.  Check back at TAC Savvy Projects Blog for lots of cards ideas...a new one EVERY day this month!

Blessings,
Deb
