Happy Saturday! I had some time last night and this morning to get crafty. It is BOWL game day and I think every TV in the house is playing the football game. I can sit in the living room watch the game and type my post. Win! Win! I have 2 cards to share today.

For my card I am using MFT Stamps and products unless otherwise noted. I started with MFT Electric Red, Smooth White, and Fuse Green card stocks. The fuse green looks like a yellow green if that makes sense. It was the closest shade I have that matches the colors. I die cut the fuse green panel with Blueprints 20 using the large scalloped background. I inked the edges with Hybrid Fuse Green ink and Versamark. I die cut the electric red card stock with Blueprints 13. I stamped this panel with Fine Check Background in Premium Electric Red ink. I then layered stamped with Smooth White pigment ink using Romantic Script background. I did not stamp the whole panel, though. I put the card stock down and just touch in a few areas to give a more random distressed look.
To comply with the sketch, I die cut the two circle elements using Blueprints 15. I stamped both using Cheesecloth background in Smooth White pigment ink. I sponged the edges with Hybrid Fuse Green and smudged the stamped image for a more distressed diffused look. Next, I stamped and die cut the Peaceful Wildflowers stamps and die namics. I used copics to add texture and dimension to the flowers and leaves. I layered the flowers onto the circles. For the sentiment strip, I used Blueprints 20. I stamped the sentiment from Simply Fabulous Sayings stamp set. I finished my card with a few Verve Shine Bright Sequin Mix.

For this card I am playing along with The Curtain Call and CAS this Sketch. I love the inspiration photo. The sketch stumped me a bit. It is very CASE. I had to add a few things to pizazz it up a bit.
