OWH - Sketch #222

I am totally honored that Marlene picked one of my cards to showcase today for our sketch challenge this week over at OWH.  I have to admit, though, that this is not one of the best cards I ever came up with. This layout falls under the category of "Where was my head"?  Anyway I tried to improve on in this week.  Here is what I came up with.  Hopefully some hero will not mind it too much.
 
I found a large sheet of this paper in my stash with that became my starting point.  I just use accompanying colors of SU! card stock and punch out some circles.  After placing them on the Apricot Appeal card stock I embossed it all with SU!'s  Square Lattice embossing folder.  After adding my designer paper I decided to punch out a five petal flower ( to match the flower on the designer paper) and a circle for the sentiment and  I used the swiss dot embossing for those two pieces, just to change things up a little.  I backed everything up with black card stock.  A few black Jolie gems and I was finished.  I am wishing you all a nice Sunday and a fun crafting day.  Thanks for stopping by today.  See you again soon.

  9. AHH, you made a 2nd card, WTG! This one is equally pretty with those circles and flowers in coordinating colors! I love the embossing right over the circles too - what a great way to use up those precious scraps! Another well-done card to inspire us :)
