Lethann with Lute

The day was beautiful for Lethann, she was strolling in the lush gardens enjoying the serene mood when the wind suddenly kicked up and her veil went blowing just about ready to snag on the grape vines.
The sky was starting to darken in the distant horizon and Lethann knew it was time to head toward home before she was caught outside in the on coming storm.

Third Coast Rubber Stamps used:

Lethann with Lute FT-184-J

Grape Trellis FA-255-I

Third Coast Rubber Stamps can be found here

I first started with stamping Lethann and making a mask, then stamp image of Grape Vine.........color images and sponge in background, stamp extra grass and sponge color for ground.

Cut out with Spellbinders, layer with cut out that has been embossed using A2 folder, then layer on coordinating designer paper........mount on card stock.

January Sketch Challenge

This week Leslie is hosting the Sketch Challenge at Come and Get It, so here's the sketch to following and I hope to see you join in the fun.........the link can be found here 

I played with the sketch and my image that I colored just didn't work out size wise especially since I triple layered the image, so my card ended up being a 5 -1/2 x 6 inch. 

You may recognize the papers I used as they are some retired designer series from SU........yeppers I'm trying to use up some stash!  LOL

Black, White and Red Color Challenge

This week at "Come and Get It" we are challenging you to use only 3 colors for your card or projects!  I decided to do a friend card making a word collage type background for my card, so I drug out several SU stamp sets to make my background for the focal point of my card.

Hope that you get a chance to drop by the DT members blogs to see what they designed this week!
