Card Sketch January #2

Happy Wednesday!!! Hope everyone is back into the swing of things now. Here things are still kind of 'up in the air' as I have lots of deadlines coming up, and lots of work to do. No complaints though, I'd rather be busy!!! This weeks sketch should get you all thinking! The flower design is just a suggestion, go with it, see what you can turn it into! The digital template is available for download in my store.

Still using my stash! The patterned paper is from a stack last Summer I think. I do love the pink (and that's saying something for me!). This card actually turned out after a mistake. I dug out the Heidi Swapp fuzzy rub-ons and thought they were black, and they were pink. So a quick reshuffle of papers and the result is this card.

Supplies: Cardstock: DCWV; Patterned Paper: DCWV; Fuzzy rub-ons: Heidi Swapp; Tag: unknown (from my stash); Ribbon:Offray; Rhinestones: Westrim Crafts;

Also this was my first time actually USING the fuzzy rub-ons and I love them! Little on the fiddly side to use but I love the look. And I had to add the bling just because... it's bling! So in all a happy accident but I love it!

My Mom admitted that she struggled with this one. She went on vacation over Christmas and apparently lost her mojo when she got home. Like I always say, it happens to us all. You just have to push through it. I like it though, bright and fun! Just like Mom!

Kelli's card with this sketch is just beautiful! Love that she flipped the sketch, and the Heidi Grace rub-on swirls just go GREAT with this sketch! I have to say I did envision swirls when I did the sketch, and have some of my own swirl cards coming soon on the blog.
