CPS 161 Plus Two

It’s been surprisingly difficult to get back in the groove with crafting. The last couple of nights, though, I’ve been up late watching the men’s and women’s NCAA basketball championships and have finished several projects as I watched. The first two are for this week’s CPS challenge.

Here’s the sketch:

And my interpretations:

Cardstock:  PTI Hawaiian Shores & Select White; patterned paper: PTI Green Boutique; Cuttlebug embossing folder; AC Dear Lizzy crocheted flowers; silk ribbon from Ellen Huston; pearl: Michael’s; stick pin unknown.

Cardstock:  PTI Pure Poppy & Vintage Cream; patterned papers:  October Afternoon Thrift Shop; ribbon from stash; AC Dear Lizzy crocheted flowers;  sentiment:  A Muse; Nestabilities: long rectangles.

Now a card from a sketch in the newly released Go To Sketches by Papercrafts. The sketch I used is on p.142. I’ll be using this publication regularly. So many great sketches and interpretations.

AC Dear Lizzy patterned papers and phrase sticker; ribbon: Michaels; cardstock: BoBunny

This card is a lift from Debbie Olsen, one of the very best in the industry. My friend is a wonderful seamstress so this seemed like a great choice for her birthday card.
