My Sketch World May Card Sketch Reveal

Yesterday was reveal day for the May card sketch over at My Sketch World and this is Lucy's sketch:

 

 

I needed a few graduation cards this year so I decided to use this sketch to get me started on my card.  My cousin's daughter Maddie graduated from Syracuse and their colors are blue and orange, so I decided to go with those colors and thought that this owl paper graduation paper from Doodlebug was too cute to pass by.  This is the card that I made. 

 

 

Supplies used:

 

American Craft cardstock

Doodlebug Cap & Gown paper and stickers

Ranger Tim Holtz distressing ink - faded jeans

Creative Memories Hexagon punch

EK Border punch

 

Thanks for stopping by.  I will be back soon with some more graduation cards.

 

Karen's Spring Shape Challenge at MSW Forum

Karen is hosting a challenge for the Spring Fling at the MSW Forum and this is the card that I made.  I thought that all the pinks in this paper line reminded me of Spring.  We got my Silhoutte Cameo out last week and Kristi started figuring it out and has cut quite a few things in the past week or so.  I had not really had the chance to give it a try, but decided to try it for this card.  I cut the Happy Birthday with it and really liked the way it cut.  I think that you will be seeing a lot more this cut with it.

This was a fun sketch and I liked being able to use up some things that I have had for quite some time.  I really liked that little paper pad when I bought it several years ago, so I am glad that I used it.

 

Thanks for stopping by.

 

 

 

Nik's Ombre Card Challenge

Nicole put up a challenge over at My Sketch World to make an Ombre card.  This was a fun challenge, I wanted to do it but wasn't sure what I was going to do.  I went in to my scrap room and looked at my paper trays and these oranges just jumped out at me.  I pulled the paper and picked out my border punch and left it on my desk while I went to work yesterday.  As I was thinking about it during the day I thought that a black background would make make it pop.  I really like the way it turned out.  I also decided to add the sentiment on a tag.

 

 

The products that I used for this card were:

 

Bazzill Cardstock (the oranges are bling, and black is plain)

Martha Stewart border punch

American Crafts Mini Mark Rub-On

Flowers and brad from my stash.

 

Thanks for looking.
