Happy Thanksgiving-eve! Another Wednesday and another favorite sketch from me! Expect to see this one a few times in the next week or so, I cannot stop using it! Much like last weeks sketch. Simple yet stunning this one. As usual the digital template can be downloaded here. I have to say this is a design I've used before, and loved. I purposefully left design simple as there are lots of ways to interpret this one. The circles are a suggestion for embellishment placement. For my first card with this sketch (more to come soon, stretching them out over a few days) I used these chipboard circles from SEI. Perfect for this sketch really.
Jackie went with flowers for her embellishments. Love the colors in this, perfect fall colors and the glitter really adds a special something to this card.
Card by Jackie PriceSupplies:Basic grey pp; Prima flowers; Sparkle glue; Marcella K “celebrate” stamp; Stazon brown ink;
My Mom chose to go with straight lines for her card, and she flipped the sketch too. This one shows that you don't have to use the circles they are just a suggestion.

Pearl took the sketch and turned it to make this pretty in pink card. The mix of embellishments tumbling down the card makes a great focal point with the striped paper drawing your eye across the card.
Card by Pearl LiuSupplies: Bazzill CS , DCWV Nana's Kids CS, Stickers from Shanghai
Wendy shows how this sketch can be used for an elegant, formal card. The embossing and rose design really go together well, and the row of pearls unites the three panels.
Card by Wendy McGlincheySupplies: White base card, a strip of white card for embossing, Cuttlebug Embossing folder, complimentary ink to distress edges of card and paper, patterned paper and images from Joanna Sheen Victorian Romance CD, Rubbbadubbadoo Stamped greeting, sticky backed pearls and ribbon bow.
Jo took the sketch in the same direction I did, but she used buttons. (I have a button card coming up in a few days with this sketch) I love the paper with the buttons, perfect holiday card! Love the penwork on this to unite the paper with the stamp.
Card by Jo WillisSupplies: Dovecraft paper, Papermill card, buttons from my huge stash!, Studio G stamp, black Brilliance ink, Sakura Micron pen.
Cindy as always has a stunning card! I just LOVE this one! The trim is perfect and as you all know I love non-traditional colors for holiday cards, and the gingham paper with the pink just rocks. The white buttons balance out the card perfectly! Stunning!!!
Card by Cindy GilchristSupplies: K&Co Pattern Paper, Bazzill Cardstock, Heidi Swapp Chipboard Label Holder, Making Memories Paint, Making Memories Brads, Colorbox Chalk Ink, Ball Fringe, Buttons.
Kelli chose to go simple, with this cardstock based card. Using the single bold color really draws your attention to the snowflakes. Rightly so she flipped the sentiment above the snowflakes otherwise the card would look too bottom heavy. Simply stunning card, and loving that bucket too!
Card by Kelli SmithSupplies: Martha Stewart snowflake punch, brazzill kiss and angel cardstock, STampin' up friend stamp, STaz on red stamp pad
As usual hook my up in the comments if you use the sketch as I love to come check them out!
Enjoy!!!

I don't even know if you will see this since I am using your sketch several months later, but here is the link to my blog. I needed to make a baby card so I looked through sketches I kept and liked this one. Thanks for the great sketch.
OOPS! I forgot to put my blog address for you to see the card I made with this sketch. It is www.moosisk.blogspot.com . Sorry about that. Thanks.
