Welcome. I am on my way out the door to attend a Stampin' Up! meeting. I just love attending these meetings! It really does provide a chance for us SU! demonstrators a chance to re-connect with our friends, and fellow SU! demonstrators. We exchange tips and tricks on paper crafting and on the business of being a demonstrator.
Anyways, we always swap (share) cards. We make a single card design and then crank out a dozen to give to the attendees of the meeting. I knew what I wanted to use - something new. I am crafting for some upcoming holiday craft fairs. So, let's make it holiday inspired. But, what? Ugh, I was drawing a blank. I couldn't get my mojo moving.
So, I headed over to Retro Sketches. They have some very wonderful, user-friendly sketches. So, here is this week's sketch (and yeah, I have already posted a card with this sketch):
See what I mean? It is easy to really embellish this sketch. Or simply keep it clean and simple. That's what I really love about this sketch challenge site. You get to showcase your style, use your products, and simply let this sketch shine! Here is what I made:
I know. This is not a typical card for me. But, I rather like it {smile}. I used some new holiday pattern paper, matted the pieces. And then simply stamped right on the card front. Yikes! that was nerve wracking for me! I wrapped the center square with the new gold sating ribbon and the new Lagoon taffeta ribbon. Simply pretty, huh?
Like I said, I'm running out the door. Take care. And I hope you get a chance to play along with your favorite challenge!
