Sweet Sunday Mini

It's time for this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge, SSSC239.

I have a super fun thank you card this week. The Mini Cooper dealer here has adopted me into their family after our move so I wanted to thank them for their kindness. They gave me a fantastic "Welcome to Texas" gift.

I really wanted to use an image of a Mini Cooper but I could only find a couple of digital images online and none of them were really what I was looking for. So I decided to recreate the logo instead. I'm not sure if you can see it in the photo but I even created the shadows below each horizontal line, using Steel Grey. The logo was done with Grout Grey and Basic Black.

I added shine to the letters using two coats of my clear glaze pen. The checkered background paper, which is so perfect for the motoring Mini theme, is from the Carta Bella Boy Oh Boy collection.

I hope you'll play along with this week's sketch and link your creation on Karen's blog. Now it's time to hop around and see what the rest of the Sweet Sunday Stampers created.

Sweet Sunday Thank You

It's time for this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge, SSSC237.

I'm baaaaaaaaaaack!!!! The move went well and we are about 85% settled in the house. You know how it is if you've ever moved...there are always little things in each room that linger undone for longer than you want. But whatev! :-)

For my card this week, I made a masculine thank you card. My dad asked me for a few thank you cards and since he is an optometrist, nothing was more perfect than the Eye Charts set from My Favorite Things. I'd love to say I made a few cards for him while I was at it creating this one but that didn't happen so it's my Sunday project. He'd like to have six cards so I think I'll switch up the background paper just to mix it up a little.

I paired it with a patterned paper from the Carta Bella Boy Oh Boy collection and used the Geek is Chic Glasses Die-namics. The strips of paper in the background look black in the photos but it's actually dark grey. I just couldn't get the colours to show properly in Photoshop.

Check out the shine on the glasses, thanks to my clear glaze pen.

Now I just hope the view from my new stamp room won't be too distracting for future stamping. I can already hear that pool calling in the Texas heat! ;-)

I hope you'll play along with this week's sketch and link your creation on Karen's blog. Now it's time to hop around and see what the rest of the Sweet Sunday Stampers created.

Sweet Sunday Namaste

It's time for this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge, SSSC232.

I'm in the midst of a move but before I left I made a card for my yoga instructor to thank her for the fun classes. A little time to slow down and stretch each week can really work wonders and I'm going to miss her.

I used the darling Pure Innocence Serenity stamp set from My Favorite Things and I had fun paper piecing her top.

The patterned papers are from the Simple Stories Vintage Bliss collection. This was the first time I'd cut into the pack and I have no idea why it took me so long. I think I'll be using it again soon!

I hope you'll play along with this week's sketch and link your creation on Karen's blog. Now it's time to hop around and see what the rest of the Sweet Sunday Stampers created.
