Here's another take on this week's 2 Sketches 4 You sketch by Laura. This is the last bit of pink Collage Press paper (I promise...except for the two 12x12 sheets that I'm hoarding in my stash! LOL! ;-D ). I'm working on a card using Ashild's bonus sketch so I may post that later today if I can get it photographed this afternoon. :)
Thanks Card
Cardstock: Stampin' Up
Patterned papers: Making Memories (stamp border), Collage Press (pink),
Autumn Leaves (flowers)
Glittered chipboard letters: American Crafts
Ribbon: Michael's
Pink trim: Joann's
Glitter glue: Ranger Stickles
ETA: Here's the card that I made using the wonderful bonus sketch by Ashild this week at 2 Sketches 4 You.
I created a pocket with a tag tucked into it just like the sketch. However, the ribbon can be untied and the two pieces of patterned papers are made into flaps that open up to reveal the base of the card where a message can be written to the recipient (see close-up in photo #3 below).
Blessed by You Card
Cardstock: Bazzill
Patterned papers: Stampin' Up (green), Scenic Route
Glittered chipboard heart: Melissa Frances
Chipboard sentiment: Creative Imaginations
Mini alphabet stickers: Making Memories

Flowers: Prima
Rhinestones: Darice
Other: sewing machine thread
Thanks for visiting and have a great Tuesday!
Gorgeous and don't hold back on those Collage Press papers, they are soooooo beautiful! I guess I really need to get some of those glittered letters!
