I find myself using just a plain white card base more and more. I don't know if I'm just in a simple kind of mood lately or if I just really like that clean look. I'm sure it's a little of both, but I've noticed I haven't been using as many embellishments as I usually do. For this
Weekend Sketch Challenge I used this little bird from the
Anniversary Birds set by
Verve Visual and the sentiment from the
Great Expectations set. I thought the "hot stuff" sentiment would go well with a
brightly-colored bird. The paper is from the Summer Stack (DCWV) and some Wild Wasabi. Make sure you stop by and see what
Beate,
Cambria,
Jenn,
Laurie, Lori and
MaryJo have created with this sketch. I'm sure they will be fabulous, as usual. Thanks for stopping by today and have a WONDERFUL weekend!
SUPPLIES USED: Stamps- Anniversary Birds, Great Expectations (Verve Visual); Paper- white (Georgia-Pacific), Wild Wasabi (SU), patterned Summer Stack (DCWV); Ink- Onyx Black (Versafine); Accessories- Copic markers, oval Nestabilities (Spellbinders), Giga scallop oval punch (Marvy Uchida), Old Olive wide grosgrain (SU), paper piercer.

Beautiful card!
I almost always use white bases or kraft bases because they're light enough to write inside without having to add more cardstock inside.
ohh this is beautiful! I have been using plan card backings as well lately...I think it's that Spring/Summer clean and fresh feel. I'm not big on birds but you're getting me hooked on this one. xoxo
Ok so it's official- You are my FAVORITE! I love they way you stamp- Do you think I could borrow your creative brain for a couple of days??
I am such a fan of the white card stock, it really sets off the main event, to pop out at you! Love your birdie and oh that yummy paper! Have a happy healthy day! How is Savannah feeling? Deb

So pretty! I love that patterned paper. Nice job.

I love a white card base. I have to stop myself from doing it every time. It lets everything else take center stage. And it's easy for writing inside. I LOVE this card. The colors just POP out at you. I love this "clean, simple" you.
This is gorgeous Charmaine! I really like the white base too....so clean and crisp!
Adorable. The colors are so fresh and fun!
I want to get some of the Nestabilities. Do you have any favorite shapes and sizes you'd recommend? I want to buy everyone available, but my hubby would kill me and then I wouldn't be able to use any of them. LOL!
I LOVE the plain white base---love the look *i just have a hard time taking the pictures.
This card is just the cutest!!! love it!

Oh this is SO pretty!! I have been using a lot of white too! I just love this card - the paper is gorgeous! :)
Wow, the colors really captured me and I love the bird!!! I do like that you had the wide white border with such vivid colors. It allowed them to not overwhem the visual and instead take center stage.
This is beautiful. And I'm excited 'cause now that I have a coluzzle I can make ovals. woohoo!!!!! So I can try this challenge. Joan
This turned out great! I love the bird!
