Happy Monday! This week will be fun as Mint Motif is sponsoring the 2 Sketches 4 You sketch this week and it is a fun one that is perfect for Very Square and Very Square Sentiments. I had to a little altering cause it just felt right on this card so I moved the four elements to the right side - in this case I used pretty little flowers, die cut and then stamped with a pattern from Very Square. I added simple buttons to the centers of three of the flowers (tied with crochet thread) and stamped my sentiment in the center of the fourth square. The base paper is from Basic Grey, the Basic Kraft collection which I personally like, some of it is a bit darker than expected but I think it is a really great addition to my collection. And you can get it at i {heart} papers...where they have a whole lotta stamps on sale too! I just picked up a bunch of Hero Arts stuff that I have been eyeing for a while.
Supplies: Stamps - Very Square, Very Square Sentiments (Mint Motif); Ink - Lemon Tart, Melon Berry (PTI), Smoke Blue Versacolor (Tsukineko), Celery (Fresh Ink) Dark Brown Fluid Chalk (Clearsnap); Cardstock - SS White, Melon Berry, Simple Chartreuse (PTI); Patterned Paper - Basic Kraft (Basic Grey); Other - Vintage Buttons (PTI), Crochet Thread
Thanks for stopping by today, there is much more inspiration out there so make sure to click around the other 2S4Y and Mint Motif designers blogs! Have a great week!
