Life’s Simple Joys

There is another great sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches.  I am also excited to announce that I am a Guest Designer for Freshly Made Sketches this month!  Be sure to stop by and see all of the great creations! Here is the sketch from this week-

 I had soo many ideas for this sketch, but decided to go with a simpler design.  I used a stamp that had never seen ink and a stamp that is probably about 15 years old that has seen a ton of ink!  Definitely a mix of old and new on this card!

All supplies by Close To My Heart, except where noted:

D1452 Find Your Style

C203 Simple Joys (really old CTMH woodie)

X7147B Stella Paper Packet

Z2195 Lagoon Ink

Z2295 Lagoon Reinker

Z2114 Cocoa Ink

Retired Crochet Flowers

Retired Cocoa Buttons

Generic Embroidery Thread

Z1471 Ruler

Design Tip-I dyed the crocheted flower to match my papers with reinker.  I added stitches with the help of the CTMH ruler.

I have also entered this card in the following challenge:

Card Crafters Circle – Buttons

One Stop Craft – Button it

2 Sisters – Recipe 1 Image, 2 Patterned Papers, 3 Embellishments
