Roses are red...

These roses are a wonderful digital stamp from the Sketching Stamper, check her out, she has some magnificent works for sale! I love the roses and I am happy the way I colored them, but all together this card isn't really what I was aiming for - it is too restless. Oh well, live and learn I guess...

My second card is vintage inspired, and I really like how it turned out! The image is vintage photo printed from the computer, metal brads are again from Denise and the purple band is recycled gift wrapping ribbon. I continued the sketch inside the card too.

2 Sketches 4 You Ultimate Card Showdown #1

2 Sketches 4 You Ultimate Card Showdown #1, week 1


I made two cards for this challenge, and here's the first.

This is a very plain card material wise - I used no fancy papers. The purple paper is origami paper, and white inlay is plain watercolor paper. I sponged the edges and the patterned strip with purple acrylic paint - oh and can you notice I picked up a pair of pattern scissors? The two layers I stitched together by hand, bookbinding type thing. I am planning to write to the inlay, so that's why it is mostly just plain white. The brads I used were from Denise's blog candy lot and the sentiment means "For a friend" in Finnish, handwritten.
