Unity FWF, FMS184

It has been a very long week here.  Between work, kids and injuries I'm glad its almost over.  It took me so much longer to create this card than normal due to a wrist injury that just seems to get worse instead of better.  As long as I can craft I'm good.

I chose a sketch from Freshly Made Sketches to use for the Unity Friends With Flair. I don't usually get another day to create so Fridays are my day.

I like this sketch due to it's simple layout.  I had such a hard time deciding what kind of embellishments to use and where to put them. I decided on just some hemp.

I used Quick Quotes powder puff chalks to distress the edges and not have so much "white" space. 

 

Supplies:

SS:

INK: cherry cobbler & pik pirouette pads, maraschino cherry, cherry blossom & green with envy chalk ink

CS: red, green & cream cardstock, authentique lovely collection

ACCESS: hemp twine, oval & oval scallop punch

I made this card for a Make is Masculine challenge over at Splitcoaststampers. I just received these two stamp sets from Unity Co. and had to use them.  I love the ruggedness of the stars and splatters.  I also used an older sketch from Mojo Monday.

I'm really liking the tall and skinny cards.  I just happened upon it on Pinterest.

 Supplies:

SS: splatters & stars, boys rule

INK: night of navy, pumpkin pie, Cajun craze, cherry cobbler

Letting Go

 

 

I haven't played along with Mojo Monday in quite some time.  I wasn't even to sure I was going to craft at all today. I have been looking forward to my day off all week and really wanted to play with my stamping stuff.  But, I got some really bad/sad news this morning and it put the crafting on hold. 

 

After having to talk with my children and crying a bit I decided to take a look through my stamps.  If any stood out to me then I would make a card with this sketch.  This stamp from Unity Co was just what I needed.   It says what I feel and is perfect.

 

 

Here is the sketch
