Favor Me Designs: Tuesday Morning Sketches

Good Morning and Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there who are being neglected today cuz their wives are crafting, haha. I asked my hubby what he wanted for dinner since it is his special day and he said he was going to grill- have at it!! I just have to make a dessert-easy enough!

My card today is for a fun little challenge over at Tuesday Morning Sketches. The challenge is to make a step ladder card and they are much easier than they look.

I am also playing along with Paper Play and their challenge is to use something old. Well that was easy -I used scraps from my scrap drawer- red cardstock strips that I dotted with my cuttlebug, the dp which is from Cosmo Cricket, and the white applique for the icing. I bought the applique last winter and today was only the 2nd time it's been used!

My cute little monkey image comes from Paper Addictions and you can get this little freebie here. If you would like to play along with Tuesday Morning sketches Melissa has a link for instruction on the step ladder card.

See you tomorrow :)

Tuesday Morning Sketches
Good Saturday afternoon everyone. Well we are still in a deep freeze here in TN and it is still snowing! This is so unusual for us and I'm not liking it! I left Northern NY to get away from the white stuff, hehe. Oh well they say only a few more days and then we should be back into the 40's.

For my card today I tried a new technique. Ok...it's a new technique for me but I'm sure most of you have already tried it- cracked glass. What a fun and super easy way to give your images a vintage look. If you are not familiar with the technique & want to try it go to Stamp TV. Gina has a whole list of episodes with some really great tutorials.

My card today is for the sketch challenge at Tuesday Morning Sketches. Melissa always provides the best sketches. Here is this weeks sketch:

And here is my card:

Now you may be asking your self what's with all the glitter-well the last time I used my clear embossing powder I was also using silver glitter...well I inadvertantly scooped up the glitter and put it in the embossing powder jar instead of the glitter jar...but I don't think it looks to bad here, haha. The whole look of the card is quite stunning in person.

My little teapot and cup & saucer were purchased at phindy's place. I just recently discovered her and she has some really great images. I will be back later this week with a really fun little image I also got at phindy's. As you can tell no dp for this card but I used 3 different embossing folders and 1 little button accent. My images were colored with my copics and sponged with SU night of navy ink.

Well I am now off to a WII party- will tell you more about that later.
