Unscripted Sketches #106 - REVEALED!!!

This is one of my favorite creations to date for Sketch it Saturday's sketch #106 over at Unscripted Sketches. I have been excited to use this Stampendous "Sushi Bowl Party" stamp set I got on clearance, and have left it out on the dining room table to remind me. This week's sketch was the perfect use. I combined this with flourishes from a tropical stamp set and sentiment from a dollar stamp set from one of the craft stores.

I stamped the fish bowl on patterned water paper and added more depth with markers blended with water brush pens. I also stamped images on recycled film {acetate} with Staz-on and colored the flourish with marker. I layered this on top of the blue fishbowl for depth. Between the layers is a fish and heart on hook from the same "Sushi Bowl Party" set. I added black embroidery floss coming out of the bowl to the top of the card.

The pineapple patterned paper is Basic Grey and is so fun and tropical. The stamped flourishes are accented with pink marker.

Unscripted Sketches - Sketch it Saturday # 105

This is my creation for Sketch it Saturday's sketch #105 over at Unscripted Sketches. This all began with the joined ladies border which I scored for ten cents over at my local SB store's yard sale last weekend. This was my inspiration - pink foil ladies on a mint green background. YUMMY!

I have many scraps for cards and this went perfectly on a piece of my minds eyes chocolate and green stripe. I also edged the border with pink metallic Mizuhiki strands to finish off the chipboard edges. The shoes & phrase are hero art stamps that I stamped, then scanned into the computer and resized, then printed on pink cardstock. I needed the phrase to fit on a chipboard ribbon buckle, so I sized the shoes proportionally. The shoes are accented with some flower gems for some extra "Bling".

Happy Saturday - Sketch 104 with an Asian flair...

This is my creation for Sketch it Saturday's sketch #104 over at Unscripted Sketches. This week I was rummaging through the clearance pile at the craft store and I was finding all these minimal jewelry pieces - BUT - I didn't buy any for this {though I admit, It was my intention to get a little bling to use for this particular sketch}. So I went home and started looking through one of my many scrap bins and I picked up this scrap of Asian paper.

I picked it up and I said to myself "where did that come from?" I don't know but it is now part of my latest throw-away collage. With this paper I was off and running...and I wanted Chinese food, even though it was well after 10pm. So I rounded up a microscope slide, an Asian medallion, a scrap of corrugated {one of my favorite goodies to create with} and some handmade paper.

This piece of handmade paper was already half black and white, but there were some things embedded in the white, so I tore it away and replaced it with this very "SPECIAL" piece of textured white packing material that I have been saving for a very special project. THIS ONE!!!!

I'm posting this collage over at my SMBdesign shop on Etsy. So if you would like to get it click here.
