I Love Sketches by Tsunami Rose- August, Day 7

Hey everyone!
Back today with another card to share using Tsunami Rose Designs Sketch # 6
{Please keep an eye out for the video coming soon to see the sketch!}


I used exclusive Printable paper that you can only get by purchasing this months sketches from Daisy's Vintage Zibbet shop. You actually get 2 papers, along with the entire months worth of sketches in an easy to print file.


For the sentiment, I used an itty bitty stamp by Unity.
The paper that the sentiment is stamped on is also from Daisy's shop. It's actually a journaling card that I cut into a smaller card. You can purchase the set of journaling cards HERE.

I used some bling from Michael's & some Making Memories rosette trim. 
Behind the rosette trim is a piece of creme lace from Creating is Fun.

The banners on the side were cut out by hand using Prima Almanac paper. I outlined some of the banners with a brown marker to give a little contrast. :)

If you have any questions or comments, I'd love to see them!

Name Sign/Altered Wooden Plaque

Hey guys! 
I'm back with a little project to share.

This sign has been sitting in my craft area for over a month, painted but not decorated.
I finally decided that I was going to decorate it and I'm super happy with how it turned out!

I'm going to use this for my Youtube videos & to set on the table at craft fairs. And to hang in my craft room when not in use. ;)


I got the wooden sign at Michaels for a few bucks in the unfinished wood section then painted & crackled it.

I used a mix of different flowers for this projects, but most are from Wild Orchid Crafts except the black (I am Roses) and the blue ones are from Prima (Fairy Belle collection)

{The metal flowers are from Michaels}

The black letters are grunge letters from Tim Holtz; I just painted them black and called it good! I love the mis-matched look to it.

The clock & butterfly are cut out from Prima Almanac, as well as the hidden paper behind the flowers.

I added some Tim Holtz filmstrip ribbon & a number plate thing for a finishing touch.

I hope you enjoyed looking at this! Stay tuned for a video soon.
