Ismaki 002

Here is my entry to this weeks Ismaki sketch challenge. It is sketch 002 and the option is diamonds.

My diamonds are in the patterned paper if you closely at the background!
I have been going through some older images as I have decided I must use some of my older stamps again, most have only been used for 1 card each! I am going to try to use each one at least once more this year! (New Year's Resolution).
Supplies:DP~ Basic Grey 'sugared'
Stamps ~ Magnolia and Stampin' Up 'circle of friendship'
Embellishments ~ Prima flowers, Dovecraft brads, silver bead cap from Ebay

Thanks for dropping by!

That's a great resolution, Deb! I have a similar one which is to use every stamp set that I own. It's quite a challenge but it's good. And, it's great fun to use those stamps you haven't seen in a while. I just got caught up reading all the blog posts I missed. Love the cards and hope the kids get to feeling better soon!
