I am slightly loving/obsessed with the sketch challenges in the blog world. 1) It helps me with inspiration for getting my cards started 2) helps to put a teeny dent/using up my current vintage crafting stash and 3) Works towards the 2024-240 cards goal.. The
Try a Sketch on Tuesday (new to me blog challenge) has a semi-monthly sketch challenge and the current challenge is great for all those left over strips of pattern paper after you cut down your 12x12 into 6 - 4X 5 1/2 pieces.. Once again, mixing and matching different paper lines..tried out a new embossing folder. A tip...wanted a scalloped edge and couldn't find for the life of me, the vintage paper edger of mine...so I used the edge of a large scalloped edge frame to cut the borders on a some of the strips on the first card...washi tape and the pattern paper strips were short enough. Voila 4 more cards to add to the stash and the 2024-240 goal..
Entering this card into
Double Trouble's Birthday Raffle.
Thanks for dropping by to have a peek.
Happy Sunday everyone. :)
