OWH Stars & Stamps Sketch 105 - Sample Cardmaker

I was so excited to be asked to make sample cards for the OWH Stars & Stamps Sunday Sketch Challenge.  While I may not finish every sketch before the next one is posted, the collection of OWH Stars & Stamps sketches is where I start first when I sit down to make a card.  There are over 100 sketches to choose from!  If you are an overachiever like I am, you may even want to print out the checklist of all the sketches and join in the challenge to create a card using every sketch before the end of 2012.  I just love sketches, don't you?!

I did two cards that used the exact same image and digi paper (both from Doodle Pantry).  On the first one, I followed the sketch to a "T" and didn't add anything extra.  On the second one, I jazzed it up a bit by adding some ribbon and a sentiment.  Don't be afraid to use the sketch as a starting point and veer off course before you get done...that's what I love most about sketches - I can follow them like a recipe or I can make them my own!

Let's see what you can do!  Be sure to link up your creations at the OWH Stars & Stamps blog.  There is no deadline so join in whenever you can.

Card Supplies:
digi image (pre-colored), sentiment and patterned paper - Doodle Pantry
dies - Nestabilities circle and scalloped circle
