With Sunday afternoons often being one of the times during which I can squeeze in some crafting I'm really enjoying the weekly sketch challenges. Here are two cards I made based on this week's sketch. I find that the sketchs often push me out of my comfort zone just enough to keep things interesting.
On a separate note, I know many of you are careful to include lots of details about the supplies you've used. I have so much, collected over so long, that I don't think I could identify most of it, even if I wanted. I can tell you the top card uses an old StampinUp set and that I created the flower embellishment with a Fiskars punch that I picked up at Michael's not too long ago.
Both your cards came out beautifully! I got a giggle about the makers of your cardmaking items. For me "stash" covers a lot of territory. And I have a lot of territory to cover, lol.
Paula, I think the layering on both cards is the trick. You've created two pretty cards with "frames" to set off the sentiments and paper. Love them both!!
Paula, Great sketch challenge cards! I like the color combination you used on the first card - very spring/summer - I thought it was a breath of fresh air! Thanks also for your well wishes on my recovery. I am thrilled to be on this side of the recovery and the crippling pain is gone from the arthritis in the hip which is giving my creativity a big boost. Now if I can get to the point I can execute! You know how that is! Blessings, Louise
