I Love Sketches by Tsunami Rose! Day 8

I Love Sketches By Tsunami Rose! Day 8

Here' we go again, today's sketch I think is pretty simple but it can look really elegant. I like to play with heights and usually place the sentiment on foam squares to raise it. Makes it more prominent and makes for great contrast. Usually on a card like this that is simple, you want the greeting to be the focal point.

I'd love to showcase your card under its corresponding sketch, simply email me @ tsunami.rose@yahoo.com! Please include your information such as blog and product information.

Today's sketch is #27


BY TSUNAMI ROSE



I used DCWV paper pack called "The Rustic Stack" for the background paper and the flower pattern. I love country flower looking paper. :) And the red bar going across is from Colorbok stack "Flea Market." I love the backside of this paper than the front, but this just happend to be the perfect color. The scalloped circle is Elegant Edges cart and the "Thank You" is from MS Seasonal Cakes cart. The circle is from Accent Essentials.

Today she used some pretty girly paper by The Girls' Paperie from the "Jubilee" paper line. She also used 2 stamps from the "Enjoy!" stamp set by Close To My Heart. She made this little gift tag to attach to some homemade baked goods.

Today's Art Philosophy cut-outs were : 1. The Card Tag featured on pg. 60 of the AP handbook
2. The Scalloped Circle on pg. 41
Wow, Great job! I love the colors! Totally spring!!
Can't wait to see what you've created!

Altered Cigar Box

So ever since the box I made for the online swap for Mini Album Scraps I've been wanting to make another altered cigar box. I was supposed to do three boxes that day, but only finished one. I need to come up with a plan ahead of my creating time instead of just winging it. LOL. It's just sometimes hard for me to do that. I like being spurr of the moment and unpredictable with my scrapbooking.

I thought I would make this into a treasure/memory box. This is what I came up with.

Top Lid



The girl silhouette was cut out by my Cricut using the Heritage cart, the banner and ribbons were cut out with the MS Seasonal Cakes and the letters were cut from the Base Camp cart. The flowers I'm pretty sure are from Iamroses.com

Aaaand the inside.

Sunday Scrapbook Session

Hi, thank you for visiting my blog. My name is Daisy, I'm 23 and I live in Vegas. I live with my husband and my two cats. I started scrapbooking not too long ago about fall of 2010. I've been a graphic designer for ten years now. I love to make 12x12 layouts as well as greeting cards and I've recently became addicted to mini books. :)

Today my good friend Veronica of Scrapin' With Meras had a scrapbooking get together at her house. I love going to this girl's house! It's like being inside a Michael's and getting to play with all the scrapbook items!!

I have recently joined Mini Album Scraps and I have joined 4 swaps. One is a mini album, the second is for an altered cigar box, the third is 6 greeting cards and the fourth is a junk journal. So I'm trying to get these all done in time by the due dates. At my last visit to Veronica I got the cigar box done. Today I wanted to make my 6 greeting cards, and I got all of them done in the 10 hours allotted, yay!

Card 1


For this card, my friend Mary suggested I incorporate some tags. I wanted to make this card in a kind of shabby chic, but I'm new to that style so this is as close as I got. I had recently bought some K & C die cuts and I'm in love with them ! Layout made by myself. :)

Card 2


I love to make my cards simple but elegant, and I was inspired by a LO I found online. I'm not sure who did the card, but here it is to give them props. I used my Cricut and the Cindy Loo cartridge for the Thanks cut out.

Card 3


A variation on Card 2.

Card 4


Inspired by this card, I adapted it for my taste and my need. I really liked the color combo. :)

Card 5


This was the first card I made tonight. I drew inspiration from this card. I cut out the scalloped shape from the Cricut Holiday Cakes cartridge. The Give Thanks is from the MS Seasonal Cakes I distressed the edges which set the mood for the rest of my cards tonight, LOL.

Card 6


This was a card that I just put paired up some of my K & C die cuts on top of a doily. In my head was a palette of beige, pink, purple. But I wanted something that would pop off the back ground so I decided on a bright green die cut. I am trying to go for more of a collage look. I'm still in the process of perfecting it. This layout is original to me.
