Take Two Tuesday Week 9

Welcome to the ninth week of my Take Two Tuesday series.  I found a card in my stash that uses the old feather set called Four Feathers.  I love the soft colors mixed with the black.  To be honest this week I think I like the old card better.

I wanted to use a retiring set and retiring colors  for my new card.  I was really surprised that the Rose Wonder set is retiring.  If you don't have this beautiful set you might want to try to get it before it sells out.  It has beautiful sentiments and flowers.

So here are the two cards together--

I honestly love the font and the sentiment on the new card.  It is my favorite sentiment from the Rose Wonder set.  This is the first time I have used this flower from the set.  I usually use the Roses.  They are stunning.

Here  is an angled view just because I sometimes think they look better, lol.

I wish I could have gotten one of the 20 or so white gel pens to work I would have added white dots to the flowers too.  They are all pretty old but still pretty full--hate that.  I think there was a trick like putting them in the freezer or something--I will have to google it to be sure.

One more shot of the card--straight on this time...

So here is the weekly question...

DO YOU LIKE THE OLD OR NEW CARD BETTER???

Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge 341 (TSSC341)

Welcome to week number 341 of my sketch challenges!  I hope you find time to play along this week--remember you have a full week to participate.  Here is this week's sketch....

And my sample. I am finally using my Four Feathers stamp set!

I really loved this set when I first seen it--had to have it--then seen a bunch of samples I did not like with it and was afraid to use it, lol!  But I am ok with this.  Don't love it, don't hate it.  I do love that it was really quick as I have had a crazy busy weekend and I didn't want to be creating for too long tonight.  I also used my fringe scissors for the first time!

Stamps: Four Feathers, Something to Say

Paper: Pear Pizzaz, Lost Lagoon, Soft Sky, Whisper White, Smokey Slate, DP

Ink: Soft Sky, Lost Lagoon

Other: framelits, large polka dot embossing folder, twine, fringe scissors

Here are some basic rules for the challenge....

1. You have a full week to play along!
2. Create a new card using the sketch as your inspiration.
3. Use any products you choose.
4. Add your card to your blog or other on-line spot and link back to this challenge.
5. Come back here and add a direct link to your sample for the challenge and NOT you home page of your blog--people will not look for your challenge card--trust me.
6. And this one is not really a rule but a request--get rid of that word verification!  It makes it hard for us to comment on your samples.  It is easier for you to delete the spam then for us to jump through tons of hoops to comment.  If your put your comments on moderation you do not have to worry about spam--you will have the option to delete it BEFORE it ever goes on your blog so you will ALWAYS be safe!
7. Have fun and tell you friends to play too!
