Operation Write Home - Sketch #87
When I first saw this sketch, I thought it would be a good way to use some papers that I've been saving, just because they're pretty and I thought they needed to be showcased and not covered by stamps or other embellishments. Then the next thing I knew, I was making this card.....go figure. It's from a pack of kiddie papers, which I really don't have much use for. I thought it looked bare on the right side.......
Since I was not satisfied with the first card, I decided to dig into my stash of pre-stamped pieces. I found this gifted stamp of a truck from a Stampin' Up set that I'm dying to own. I was a lot happier with the way this card turned out than my first attempt. This card is much more "me".
And....there goes another weekend! That sure was fast! ~Nancy F.

They're both great cards, but I like the truck card too! It looks great with the diamondplate embossing! Nice job on the sketch challenge!
ReplyDeleteI like both cards, Nancy! And I enjoy seeing folks experiment with a sketch and make it their own. Thanks for joining us in this week's OWH Stars & Stamps Sketch Challenge!
ReplyDeleteNancy, both of the cards are great, but I have to say the truck card is my favorite. the embossing goes so well with the truck. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteDiamond plating is always a favorite of mine so of course I love that card plus the colors. The other card is great for a kid!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE how the truck card came out! The diamond plating is such a fun accent on this card!
ReplyDeleteNancy - both of your cards are great! I really like the paper on the first card - it's so cute (I'm a sucker for stuff like that)! The colors you chose for the second card are very nice together and I LOVE the diamond plate embossing that looks so cool!
