She then used her nestie dies to make the shape in the middle embossed with Ivy leaf and lightly inked with green ink. She then stamped a music image and added Poison Ivy sentiment Very cute card!

Made by TSUNAMI ROSE



The funny thing is that I don't like butterfies, but I know other people do. My friend Veronica Meras kept poking fun at me for this sketch. Anyways, I decided to do a little something for a friend of mine and send her this card. The butterfly is from MS Elegant Cake cartridge. The frame is from Elegant Edges cart. The paper is from Colorbok from the Flea Market. That's my favorite paper out of this pack. This is an awesome paper pack, too bad I only bought two. . . .I LOVE SKETCHES BY TSUNAMIROSE Design Team Member- Tricia Colon of Tricia's Place Please visit her blog! She full of wonderful ideas!

The gorgeous paper she used is from KaiserCraft the "Bonjour" collection and the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge which was used for the card cut-out on pg. 47 of the AP handbook and also the layer frame also found on pg. 47. The ribbon is from her stash.

I Love Sketches By Tsunami Rose! DAY 4

And here we are at day 4 of the I LOVE SKETCHES BY TSUNAMI ROSE! Thanks for playing along with me and my design team! Please remember to click to enlarge the photo and to email your submissions and thoughts to TSUNAMI.ROSE@YAHOO.COM

Here is today's sketch # 22






Made By TSUNAMI ROSE



This card is a 5x7. The "Celebrate" is from a chipboard set from Studio G. 99 cents for like 10 little chipboard sayings that I also used in my Mini Album Using Recollections Mosaic Memories Pack. Looooove this paper pack. So versatile, so vintage! I wanted to mix in black to make the paper pop! I wanted to continue on the black with the circle in the middle. Making the Red pop off of that! I love layering and layering with heights! I love my generic foam squares!! And if you haven't noticed I like to ruff up my layers before setting them down. And since I can't simply select all and add a stroke, I have to ink the edges of EVERYTHING with a certain color ink. But again, it makes things POP! The only thing Cricut here is the circle in that was made with Accent Essentials. Like it says- it's got the ESSENTIALS!
