A few days ago, I decided to start doing cards for challenges that require the use of a sketch. It was so much fun, I did a couple more. Have to say I'm pretty darned proud of the 2 resulting cards.
I really like love this card!
The Glossy Accents on the floral pattern just pops in person.
(I wish my photo taking was better....working on it.)
The vase was cut at 3 1/2" using the Cricut Art Nouveau cartridge. That cart is quickly becoming one of my go-to's. So many great images!
This card can be found at the following challenges:
The House that Stamps Built -- Sketch challenge A713

365 Cards -- I've got the blues
Outlawz Saturday Paper a la Mode -- Best friends
Yes, that is a Christmas card. In August. I recently saw a video on YouTube that showed how to make the poinsettia using the Flower Shoppe cartridge and had to give it a try. Making it was super easy and the finished flower is really gorgeous.

Sensational cards, Roberta! I agree completely with the gorgeous vase card....I LOVE it too. Thanks so much for playing along with the WIW challenge at The House That Stamps Built.
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are beautiful. Thank you for joining us at Party Time Tuesdays. Hope to see you next week.
ReplyDeleteWell, you certainly _should_ be proud of both these cards. Each is just beautiful, and you did a wonderful job with your layouts. Love both of them, but I especially liked the staggered rectangles on #1. (But then I love poinsettias, so it was a hard pick!) TFS
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Roberta! Both of them. But, since I'm from CCC I want to tell you what a beautiful job you did using our sketch and that gorgeous Pointsettia. Thank you for playing with us at Christmas Card Challenge #36. :)
