I used 2 CAS-ual Friday stamp sets on my card...the sentiment comes from the set Beanstalks and the flower image is from Truth Is.
 
Sponsor this week is... CAS-ual Fridays Stamps!

Super cute set, I heart art.  I've been eyeballing it for awhile and snagged it on my recent trip to Archivers.  You can't tell in the photo, but I embossed the canvas with my linen impression plate.  In person, you can see the texture.   I stayed true to the sketch.


Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful Monday!

Please excuse the poor photo.  I have a light missing and had to take it the pic outside and the light outside is, well, crappy today. 
 

This was a challenge for sure because I have very little in the way of crafty items that would be considered nautical.  I went with the traditional nautical colors of navy, white and red.  Threw in some yellow to represent the brass in the inspiration photo. 

I used the following Paper Smooches stamp sets:  Metropolis (sentiment) and Geo-Graphic (chevron and polka dots)

Have a wonderful day!

Birthday Monkey

 
I've had this card hanging around my craft room for awhile and forgot to post it. 
 
No stamping on this card.  I cut the monkey with my Silhouette machine and the sentiment was computer generated.

Papertrey Ink Blog Hop..let's get tilted!


I adore the PTI blog hop theme this month!  I've made a card or two in the past that had some tilt to the design and always liked the look.  You will definitely see more from me in the future because I drew probably 6 or more sketches that had some tilt going on!

Blog-hop-inspiration

  I have no clue why I went with a purple monochromatic theme for this card but my youngest loves it! 

 This stamp set (Star Gazer Additions) is so awesome--for lack of a better word--maybe it's the sci-fi nerd in me.


Thanks for stopping by!  I can't wait to see all the tilted creations!
