Gretchen Barron: One Sketch ... three Cards!

Hello everyone! Did you know that MoJo Monday has been running daily Sketch Challenges all week to celebrate their birthday? I decided to use today's sketch for One Sketch ... Three Cards!

Now I must tell you that this color combination -- Perfect Plumb, Barely Banana, Sage Shadow and Orchid Opulence -- has been noted on a Post-It note on my desk for weeks and I finally decided to try it out today! What do you think? Looks like spring, doesn't it? I used the Great Friend Stamp Set, Scallop Border Punch, 5/8" Satin Ribbon, 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon, the Curly Label Punch and Die Cut (with the Movers & Shapers Die), Versamark Ink, Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder, the Heat Tool and Stampin' Dimensionals! Oh, and also a bit of Perfect Plumb Patterns Designer Series Paper. Of course, just had to stamp a bit on the inside of the card as well!

Ready for Card Number Two! It's my first Halloween Card of the Year. It's still the same sketch, I promise! Just flipped on it's side. I used Cast-A-Spell Designer Series Paper along with Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie, Perfect Plumb and Whisper White Cardstocks. Also used are the Tasty Sweet and Batty for You Stamp Sets, the Eyelet Border Punch, 5/8" Basic Black Grosgrain Ribbon, 1 1/4" Circle Punch, 1 3/8" Circle Punch, Scallop Circle Punch and 1 3/4" Circle Punch, Versamark Ink, Iridescent Ice Embossing powder and the Heat Tool and stampin' Dimensionals! The Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder really adds some sparkle to the candy pieces. It almost looks as if they are covered in sugar! (click on the image to view as larger).

And finally a little fantasy and fun with Kaleidoscope Designer Series Paper! I used the Season of Friendship and Think Happy Thoughts Stamp Sets, Regal Rose 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon, 1 1/4" and 1 3/8" Circle Punches, Scallop Circle Punch, the Scallop Border Punch, a flower Brad and Stampin' Dimensionals! Colors are Regal Rose, Pretty In Pink, Apricot Appeal, Certainly Celery and Whisper White (not the recommended colors for the DSP but I think they work very well together). And of course, a little stamping on the inside for an extra smile!
