Mark had surgery on his shoulder last week and I have been in nurse mode and mom mode and packing and shipping for Verve mode, which left no time for card making mode. So for my sample card, I quickly threw together some scraps of paper with an already stamped, colored and cut out image that was sitting on my desk.
The stamps are from the Framed Lilies set, and were stamped in early espresso, then water colored with distress markers and a water brush. I dripped a bit of watered down ink for the splatters. The ribbon for the bow is from the Signature Ribbon Collection and I matted most of the layers with early espresso card stock. A bit of ink distressing (for a short video on my distressing and the card that inspired this week's sketch click here) finishes things off.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I'm taking Mark to physical therapy and then have a ton of orders to pack. Verve's sale technically ended last night, but it will probably be this evening before I have a chance to start changing out the website, if you still want to sneak an order in. :)

Wow! Beautiful card!!!
Gorgeous design and fantastic colors!
Gorgeous card. Love the colors and the design.
Pretty card! Really like the chevron embossed background.
Wish I could "throw them together" like you do!! Scraps and all! Lovely!!!
{{Hugs!}} Take care of yourself while you take care of everyone else, ok?? Your card is lovely, BTW - Gorgeous way to use up "scraps"!! : )
Wish I could throw things together so nicely. Adore that EF you used and your bow is divine. Hugs to you nurse, mama, packer, shipper etc. and hoping Mark's shoulder gets better quickly.
This may have been quick and thrown together, but it's still a gorgeous card! Hope Mark has a quick recovery (been there done that when DH had his shoulder surgery; PT was worse than the surgery pain). Good luck with the MANY hats you are wearing these days! This too shall pass. :-)
Wow I wish I could "throw together" such a pretty card. My card always take me a long time to do. I love the colours you've used on this card. I pray that Mark's shoulder heals quickly and properly.
This is so pretty, I am really liking the rich brown ribbon--lovely.
This is beautiful Julee! Love the colors! Doesn't look thrown together at all! Hope Mark's shoulder heals fast!
I wish I could "throw one together" to look like that! Just beautiful!
Wish the scraps left on my desk would make such a lovely card. The colors are absolutely gorgeous. Prayers for you in both mommy and nurse mode!
Wow! This does not look like a "Scraps" card!!!
It's beautiful.
When it rains, it pours :-( Now is a good time to prioritize and only work on the top 3 or 4 things on your list. Don't forget to take a minute to put your feet up and sip some warm apple cider or camomile tea with a little honey. My doctor says that we should all be eating a teaspoon of honey every day. It has anti-inflammatory properties and it's supposed to help boost the immune system :-)
I received my Verve order--thank you for such timely shipping.
This is just gorgeous. Love that stamp!!!
Scraps you say...okay I want YOUR scraps as this is stunning...so elegant and beautiful!!
Gorgeous card!
Wow! Such a stunning Card! Just breathtaking! Thank you for sharing ♥
Oh, I do love that embossing folder you used! I will have to look for that one. Cool card.
I adore the soft feel of your card. Beautifully pulled together! :)
If that's your throw-together card, I'd hate to see a card you *really* put time and effort into! ;) Now I'm almost embarrassed to share mine, lol. You know those times when it's going great until the last second, and then it all goes downhill? Yup, one of those! Maybe I won't redo it, and post the craziness anyhow. :D
I wish I could throw a card together that was as great as this card. Love it!
Such a pretty card Julee! Love all the layers and the beautifully colored flowers! Thanks for the inspiration and for another fun sketch to play with!
