2 sketches 4 you #49

Hi all!! Thought I'd play with the 2sketches4you sketch again. For those of you who didn't know my card won the card of the week last week!! I was so shocked I just stared at the screen for at least five minutes before I ran out of the room to tell my man.... of course he really didn't seem to understand what the big deal was!! Oh brother!!

So here is this weeks sketch from Kazan...........

 And here is my take.........

I just had to use this new paper from SEI that I got last week. It is from the Claire collection and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!! The picture doesn't do it justice. I used three different patterns of the paper here... one for the background, one for the mat and rectangle piece and another for the punched border. I punched out an oval and stamped it with a sentiment from papertrey ink's mixed messages set. Added the pearls next and called it good :)

I really liked this sketch I already have a few more possibilities roaming around my head!!

I'm off for the night.......

Hugs,

2 sketches 4 you #48

Hi all!! I decided to play along this week with the 2 sketches 4 you sketch. This is the first time I have ever played with these sketches... I have seen this challenge before but just never got around to playing. So here is the sketch this week.........

And here is my take..........

I was trying to make a manly card and since manly cards are definitely not my strong point I thought I did ok. I kept it soft but not feminine and only added buttons and no bows. After I finished it I thought this would make a great sympathy card since it's so soft. Just change out the sentiment and you are good to go. I will post the deets below as I am short on time today!!

Thanks for looking and have a great day!!
