Practicing Creativity sketch challenge, part 2


Hi folks! I have one more card to share tonight for the sketch challenge at Practicing Creativity. Unfortunately I wasn't able to finish a card for the fourth sketch (sorry, Paulina!), but I will definitely keep it in my file to use in the future! Here is Karen's sketch that I used:



Another strip of patterned paper from the Bissette stack by SEI is bordered by Dark Chocolate cardstock, punched with a Martha Stewart border punch. The Spring Moss background is stamped in Versamark ink with Background Basics: Text Style. Things were looking a little plain, so I stamped two overlapping medallion images onto a punched circle. I just love these images!

Cardstock: Papertrey Ink (Dark Chocolate, Spring Moss, white)
Patterned paper: SEI (Bissette stack)
Stamps: Papertrey Ink (Background Basics: Text Style), WPlus9 Designs (Mehndi Medallions), unknown sentiment
Ink: Papertrey Ink (Dark Chocolate), Clearsnap (Lettuce), Versamark, Ranger (Antique Linen)
Tools: Marvy Uchida (circle punch), Spellbinders (scallop circle die), Martha Stewart Crafts (border punch), EK Success (corner rounder)
Accessories: Michaels (pearls), thread

I will be revisiting these papers (and this color combo) at some point, because I need to make a total of 6 cards for this set. But I think I will take a break to finish some other projects first. I promise to take a picture of all of the cards together once they're done!

Thanks so much for all of your wonderful comments lately! I never seem to have time to respond to everyone personally, but please know that it means so much to me to have you take the time to share your thoughts.

I'm so glad you stopped by today! Have a wonderful weekend!

Oh my I love the layered medallions! And this color combo still makes me swoon. What a lovely design, and I love the scallops. (You could use this punch for the Moxie Fab Challenge it would be perfect!)
