Inspired weekend sketch
Beate has recently started inspiration challenges during the week and I decided to start playing along. For this week I decided to combine it with her weekend sketch.
There are a lot of stamps and ink on this card. I stamped the large flourish from ‘Baroque motifs’ first in caramel and then in stamped off chocolate chip onto the DP, then I ran my antique linen distress ink pad over the whole thing and sponge the edges in chocolate ink. The vanilla CS that is under it had the distress ink pad run over it and then chocolate ink sponged on its edges.
For the main panel I stamped ‘French script’ first in river rock, then I inked up another section of it with the distress ink and stamped on top of it and sponged more distress ink on it and chocolate on the edges. I wanted the effect of the written words without really being able to read them, even if you know how to read french! (I don’t, although I want to and I am trying to teach Ava although I’m probably not the best teacher, lol!)
And the berry branch was in chocolate and stamped over and over. The design behind the sentiment are the small flower stamps from the ‘Always’ set stamped off 3 or 4 times in chocoalte ink. And more chocolate around the edges of everything.
Sean and I have had a busy weekend of cleaning and reorganizing the house, toys and getting the carpets cleaned. And today I ran some errands with Ava. I was just able to squeeze in some time to make this card before we head over to my mom’s house for dinner.
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and had some time for yourself!

WOW…this is an amazing card. It is gorgeous. Jennie OBTW…I am from Everett…but I live in georgia now.
Nice use of the branch stamp. I always have a hard time figuring out how to use that thing! I really like how you rounded opposite corners but left the other ones square.
Beautiful card!
