Birthday Card for Sketch #11/sneak peak at Laughing Lola

Over at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge, I've created another fun sketch for you to get creative with.  Here is the sketch:

 I decided to use Laughing Lola for this card, as it is a really fun print.  I used White Daisy for my card base, and then as my mat I used Gypsy CS.  I used 2 pieces of Laughing Lola, a piece of Lagoon CS and a piece of Black CS.  The ribbon is CTMH Seam Binding Color Ready Ribbon, and I used Lagoon and Gypsy Alcohol Markers to dye the ribbon.

The sentiment is stamped in Gypsy Pigment Ink, and then colored in with Lagoon Alcohol Markers on White Daisy CS, and layers on Black CS.  The sentiment is one of CTMH's new M sized stamps, Heartfelt Birthday Wishes.

Congrats Card for Sketch #10

Well, I'm back from Orlando, and my First CTMH Convention!  Wow!  It was great, met so many wonderful people.  It was a great experience and I hope to be able to go again soon.

Well, on to my card.  I love the For Always paper, and decided I would use 2 different patterns from this paper packet.  I love the direct ink technique where you apply the ink pad directly to the paper to make the white areas any color you want.  I choose for this card Honey and Outdoor Denim.

I also stamped the Frame which is from the Frame Flair Stamp set in Outdoor Denim, and the sentiment is from the stamp set Congrats Graduate, which is stamped in Honey.  I used some retired embellishments from the Bouquet Assortment which is from the Pemberley collection.  Also, if you look really close, I have added some Bitty Opaques Pearls to the Sentiment and Frame.  The Sentiment is 3D popped using 3D Foam Tape and I used the Zip Strip as a faux ribbon to separate the 2 papers.
