Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #58

For those of you who don't know about these challenges, Karen Giron puts up a sketch challenge each week for anyone to participate. I love checking them out and this week I actually made a card using the sketch. Here is her sketch:and here is the card and matching envelope that I made:Supplies:
Stamp set: Occasional Greetings
Cardstock: Pumpkin Pie, Very Vanilla
Ink: Old Olive
Accessories: Flower Fusion felt flowers, Rhinestone brads, Very Vanilla Taffeta ribbon, Word Window punch and Haiku DSP

I really like how this card turned out and the matching envelope. This was very easy to make so I may end up making more cards this size (6.5" x 3.25").

Hope you like it.

Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #11

I know you are all in shock right now as it has been quite some time since I made a post - very sorry about that, hopefully I can make up for that from now onwards.
Anyway I often check out the fabulous blog of Karen Giron whose work is absolutely amazing, you really need to check it out. Every week she puts up a sketch challenge and I've always wanted to give them a try and this week I finally have. I have to say I always like the sketches she comes up with but I really liked this weeks one, here's the sketch:


The measurements of the card are 6 1/2" x 3 1/4"
Here is the card I came up with for the challenge:

Stamp sets: Priceless and Short and Sweet

Cardstock: Ruby Red, Going Gray, Basic Gray and Whisper White
Accessories: Basic Gray taffeta ribbon (love this), flower brads (from new catalogue), scallop edge punch, Ginger Blossom patterned paper (summer mini), dimensionals, horizontal slot punch and silver brads

This card came together really easily given you already have the layout mapped out for you all you have to do is put it all together.
