Here is my card using this sketch:

 

My card this week uses some new Washi paper I got at a stamp convention I went to last April and I think the flowers from the Asian Delights stamp set from Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co. went well together.  The flowers were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic markers.  I also accented the flowers with a white pen and used the Wink of Stella Clear Brush but unfortunately neither one shows up.  The "Beauty" stamp from the same set was stamped in the lower right corner.

This week's Tutorial Time Challenge is called Using Old Photos and is brought to you by Cheryl.  I hope you'll join us and check out the tutorial HERE.  Follow along and create your card for a chance to win a free stamp set.

Here is my card:

 

 

For my card I searched through a number of photos and picked this one of Lake Almanor, California that was taken when we visited our son and his family last year.  It brought back so many wonderful memories.  I die cut the photo using Spellbinders Labels Eight, adhered it to white cardstock, then mounted it to the darker blue cardstock and finally to the lighter blue card base.  The sentiment is from the Nature's Brushstrokes set from Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co. and was stamped in Memento Danube Blue ink. 

 

Wishing you a wonderful weekend and thank you for stopping by.

Here is my card for this week's sketch:

 

 

 

I used the smaller of the two flower branches from the Branch of Blossoms set this week, stamped them in the corners and added the sentiment in the middle.  I cut the square from the Spellbinders Square set.  I used a piece of cardstock from the Graphic 45 Birdsong papers, which I love and am so sorry it is no longer available.  The background papers were run through my Cuttlebug using the Cuttlebug Plum Blossoms embossing folder.

For my Mini Book I chose a piece of double sided cardstock called Secret Garden - Sweetie from My Little Shoebox.  I used the Tim Holtz Tiny Tabs and Tags for my tags and Spellbinders Circles and Labels Two.  All stamps used are from Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co.  The green tag was stamped with the sentiment from a new set called Bearded Iris, the coral tag was stamped with the sentiment from Branch of Blossoms, the Spellbinders circle was stamped with one of the flowers from the new set called Great Flowers and the Spellbinders Labels Two was stamped with the sentiment from the Lotus Blossoms set.  For the front of the book the belly band was punched from a Martha Stewart punch called Doily Lace Trim and the flower  from the new Great Flowers set was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored with Copic markers, fussy cut and adhered to the belly band.

Here is my card:

 

For my card I used a new set called Oriental Joy from Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co.  All images were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic markers.  The background was run through my Cuttlebug using a Lifestyle Crafts embossing folder called Lattice.  All the squares were cut and embossed using Spellbinders Squares and after stamping the images they were sponged with a combination of Aged Mahogany and Ripe Persimmon Distress inks to come as close to my base cardstock as possible.

This week's Tutorial Time Challenge is called Cling Wrap Alcohol Background and is brought to you by Lis.  I hope you'll join us and check out the tutorial HERE.  Follow along and create your card for a chance to win a free stamp set.

Here is my card:

 

 

To create my background I didn't use the alcohol refills but instead used Distress ink refills on glossy paper.  I used Dusty Concord, Salty Ocean and Tumbled Glass reinkers.  I stamped my images from Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co. new stamp set called Bearded Iris.  The iris and sentiment were both stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and the iris was colored with Copic markers.  I fussy cut the iris and used dimensionals to raise it.
