Relax SC281

Today was my day off but I was super busy....super busy doing NOTHING....haha! Don't you ever have those days where you would rather just sit on the couch like a bump on a log? Well that was me today! :)
As dinner cooked I decided I'd whip up a quick card using the SCS sketch 281 from Wednesday.
I used one of my new Verve sets called Relax.
The trees were stamped in Memento Black and coloured with Copics. One tree top was cut out and popped up. I tore some kraft and sponged with ink.
Stamps: Relax; Cardstock: Kraft, Old Olive, White; Inks: Memento Black, Memento Rich Cocoa, Close to Cocoa; Accessories: Copics, Sponges, Nesties, Linen Thread, Paper Piercer, Dimensionals
Thanks for stopping by today!

It'll Be Okay Chloe

Oh geez...we have had our first and hopefully last broken bones...
Here is Chloe sporting her neon pink cast which she won for fracturing her wrist on Monday night....lol
We spent a long time in the emergency waiting for them to cast her arm but she was a total trooper! She only started to whine and cry a bit when it was 11:30pm and we'd been there forever. She was exhausted and all see wanted to do was go home to bed :(
Anyway, it looks like she'll have this for about 6 weeks. Just in time for summer vacation to start!
She was really bummed on Tuesday when she realized it's not as easy to do things with only one hand/arm. So I sat down after dinner to create a little card for her using the MFT PI Heart Stripes and My Umbrella(sentiment). The sketch comes from Mercy's MTSC74.
Stamps: My Umbrella, Heart Stripes; Cardstock: White, Night of Navy, So Saffron, October Afternoon DP; Inks: Memento Black; Accessories: Copics, Nesties, Word Window Punch, Mat Pack and Paper Piercer, Scalloped Edge Punch, Dimensionals
Thanks for stopping by today! Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Before I even saw the sketch, I knew what set I'd want to use!
My all time favourite set from Taylored Expressions is Branching Out. I found a pretty piece of October Afternoon DP in my scrap pile and chose my colours from it. Such a wonderful spring/summer colour combo. Don't you think?
