“Down Home” Card Answers Sketch Challenge

Posted on May 15, 2015May 15, 2015 by Mama

I guess I’ve been in the patriotic mood lately with Memorial Day on the horizon and Independence Day not so far behind, so that’s right where my mind went when I saw the newest Mojo Monday sketch challenge.

I really like rustic papers when it comes to stars and stripes, but I actually have VERY little patriotic paper. *Gasp* A shocker, I know. In order to achieve my desired look, I roughed up, painted and/or inked everything I used to give this card a tattered look. With the addition of the raffia and the stitching, it kind of has that “down home” feel.

New Sketch Challenge is Elefun!

It has been a while since my last creative card post, but this week’s challenge from Freshly Made Sketches seemed like the perfect opportunity to use my new little elephant die. The papers all came from different sources and the twine and pink embellishments were items I already had on hand — yeah! Of course, I inked everything, but I used a pink Cat’s Eye for a more subtle look. I think this cute card would be perfect for a baby shower or young girl’s birthday.

“A Real Cute Chick” Card

Whew, this latest Operation Write Home sketch challenge was a toughy. But after much thought and lots of digging through all sorts of stamps, stickers, papers and punches, I finally came up with a concept to follow the sketch. Since Easter is quickly closing in on us and the OWH deadline for these cards is at the end of the month, I decided to go with a card befitting this celebration (plus I had those really cute egg stamps that had never been used). While it’s not my most favorite card ever, I think it turned out kind of cute.
