FTL72 - Thanks, Chickie!



Hi everyone... I'm back with post #2 of the day. To see the winner of Monday's freebie giveaway, please scroll down! :)

Today's card was creating using the most recent Fall-to Layout Sketch. My sample is definitely on the simple side, but I really like the way it turned out... Sometimes I think using a bunch of patterns together can make a design look a little on the busy side (LOL, just check out some of my past cards), but these patterns together almost seem delicate.

LOL, as usual, I went back and forth about a million times trying to figure out what cardstock color I should use as my card base, and finally settled on using acetate. I also embossed the background with dots to help it stand out a bit.

Have a great one! :)

Supplies:
Stamps - Damask Designs, Background Basics: Diamonds, Handwritten Notes
Ink - Versamark, Aqua Mist, Pure Poppy
Paper - Old Olive DSP, Bermuda Bay, Pure Poppy, Aqua Mist, Kraft, Stamper's Select White
Miscellaneous - Vintage Cream Satin Ribbon, Acetate, Swiss Dots Embossing Folder
