S & S Sketch Challenge #73


Good Morning,
Today Operation Write Home's Stars and Stamps Blog is hosting it's Sunday Sketch Challenge. This is my card for that challenge. I found this sketch to be quite easy. I just started with Very Vanilla Card Stock and partially ran it through my Big Shot with the Cuttlebug Swiss Dot embossing folder. The designer paper is from Basic Grey and I added a strip of SU's Chocolate Chip card stock, The sentiment is from SU's Fancy Flexible Phrases which I cut out and matter with Oval and Scallop Oval punches from SU. I'm trying to do CAS cards today so I can make a lot of cards to finish up my box that is going out to Operation Write Home within the next day or so. Thank you for spending a few minutes here with me today. I appreciate it. I wish you all a great Sunday and I hope the sun is shinning where you are, because it is not shining here today. That's OK as it makes for a good day to craft.

  2. Donna, This card is beautiful. There is something about the DP that really sets the card off. I am always drawn to cards with some white space in them. Really terrific card! Blessings.

  8. Thanks for the tip on the cuts! I was too caught up into thinking there was some super easy way to make the cuts with my trimmer, without having to measure! DUH!!!
