Kitchen Sink Monday - Ansel Adams Inspired

Welcome to Kitchen Sink Monday!! For today's card I have used the newly released Multi Step Trees. Love these trees, when I first saw them, I immediately thought of Ansel Adams and his wonderful black and white photos! This is the one I was thinking of: Ansel Adams. These Kitchen Sink images look just like photos, so I though it would be a fitting tribute to stamp this tree in black and white!

I stamped my tree image with basic grey, going grey and basic black. The sketch I used for this card today is the WSC102...love this long card sketch...I thought it would work perfectly with my elegant black and white card. My white panels are all dry embossed with the new damask frame embossing folder. I have also used the deckled Nestabilities for behind the circle panel. To finish off my card, I added some black satin ribbon, and some black half pearls.

Kitchen Sink Monday - Sweet Birthday Wishes!!

Happy Kitchen Sink Monday!! Today is one of my fellow Crew member's birthday...Happy Birthday Lynn!!! In honor of her birthday, I have created this card for her!

I decided to use this week's weekend sketch challenge WSC97...LOVE this sketch!! For my image I used the Multi Step Berries. I stamped the raspberries on Pale Plum card stock with pale plum and rich razzleberry inks. To frame the image I used the kaleidescope pendent. I sponged both the center of the pendent, and the edges with some pale plum ink. The DSP is from BasicGrey's Wisteria collection. To finish off the card, I added some basic gray taffeta ribbon and some purple dew drops.

I also used the same pendent for the middle of my card. I sponged it the same way as the front of my card. Finally, I layered it on some rich razzleberry and basic gray papers.
