Retro Sketches Challenge!

I had so much fun making a card with this layout  for my mom (see post here) I thought I would try another one!  I'm finding that having a  sketch to start with is much fun and makes stamping time quick and easy! I love making cards but sometimes you don't have a lot of time so this is definitely the way to go!

This layout is based on sketch challenge #62 from retro sketches. 

Here's the sketch:

Here's what I came up with:

I used the stamp set Summer Silhouettes from Stampin' Up! and a retired sentiment.
I stamped the images and then took some white bakers twine and rubbed over it with a sponge inked in rich razzleberry ink to give it a "purplish" hue! 

stamps: Summer silhouettes, well-scripted (retired)
ink: rich razzleberry, pool party, lucky limeade, early espresso
paper: crumb cake, whisper white
other: bakers twine, sponge

Simple Silhouette

Last, but not least, the final card from the Fall Stamp-a-Stack. I know I've seen this idea a few places online and wanted to try it. It's such a pretty, simple card! I used cherry cobbler and always artichoke to make it feel like Fall but you could easily refresh this card in light colors for spring.   I stamped the flower and then used the paper piercing circle stencil  and tool to create the simple circle around it. It's amazing how that little detail adds so much to this card!  I also rounded the card edges and added on a "fork" bow with the seam binding ribbon.

stamps: Summer Silhouette, Fabulous Phrases

ink: Cherry Cobbler, Always Artichoke, So saffron, early espresso

paper:  Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White

other: paper piercing template and tool, crumb cake seam binding ribbon
