Downtown Diva and a Saturday Sketch

Thanks for stopping by to see another Taylored Expressions Sneak Peek!
I have TWO for you using the cute new cuppie set called Downtown Diva. There are several great images and sentiments in this set!

My first card uses Lauren's sketch(see below).

I decided to give watercolouring a try again....lol...practice practice practice right?! My colours for the image were chosen by the American Crafts dp...although I decided to NOT use the pattern side...it was a little busy...and went with the solids instead. I like how it looks!

Stamps: Downtown Diva; Cardstock: Choc Chip, Watercolour paper and American Crafts DP(pink/blue); Inks: Versafine Black and Various SU! inks; Accessories: Aqua Painter, Nesties, Circle Punches, American Crafts Ribbon, Stickles, Paper Piercer, Dimensionals

Here is Lauren's Saturday Sketch #29.

I altered my sample slightly by leaving out the scallops because I'd used the nestie shape...it looked funny with them...lol

I had to make a second card/gift card holder with the nesties like my buddy Denise always does. I love the look but it's something I never think to do...but it was on my to-do list! Now I can cross something off! I stamped the image from Downtown Diva onto some watercolour paper and used my re-inkers and aqua painter to colour it in.

Stamps: Downtown Diva; Cardstock: Pink Pirouette, Choc chip, Cool caribbean, WC paper and American Crafts DP; Inks: Versafine Black and various SU! inks; Accessories: Aqua painter, Curvy Rectangle Nesties, Word Window Punch, Pink Pirouette Ribbon, Linen Thread, Dimensionals

Here is a side shot showing how I made a little pocket to hold a gift card.
