New week, new OWH sketch.

Blessings to you, my friends, on this wonderful, sunny autumn day. It's the start of a brand new week and, of course, the day the weekly OWH sketch comes out. Can you believe we're up to #140 already? I absolutely LOVE this sketch and couldn't wait to try it. Really, I mean I don't remember when I've actually made a card and posted it the same day the sketch hits the OWH Blog. I happily present my card:


I matted everything on black cardstock to make it pop. The DS paper and round sticker are from the "Carefree" 6x6 paper pad, and 12x12 "Details" sticker sheet, by Authentique. I used Jan Hunnicutt's tip from Saturday's OWH Blog Skip... adhere your sticker to your paper first THEN punch or die cut. Thank's Jan!! I adhered my sticker to the black cardstock and then used a Fiskar's 1 1/2" scalloped circle punch to punch mat and sticker all in one. Perfecto! I think the black and white ribbon is from May Arts, but I'm not sure. I bought loads of it a while back and don't remember where I got it.

Thank You so much for stopping by... hope you enjoyed your visit!

  7. Marlene,

    Congrats on posting your card on the same day as the sketch! I totally understand how exciting that can be. I'm just now getting around to last week's Midweek Throwdown. :)

    What a nice card! I love your paper combo and how you interpreted the sketch. And, your little ribbon at the edge of your red rectangle is a great finishing touch.


    Thanks for playing along with this week's sketch challenge!

  8. I love your bee paper. So cute! Great idea on punching after the sticker is on the paper. Someday I'll remember that.
