Here is this week's sketch #65:
I have to admit, I was a bit nervous making this card. I knew it would be featured on the Card Patterns blog with TONS of viewers and I wanted to make sure it was worthy! So after a day of panicking and 3 failed cards, I went back to one of my current favorite cards and CASED it! I used the same papers from Pink Paislee, 365 Degrees and stamp set, One Person from Verve.
The 4 corner elements to the sketch threw me a bit. All I could see was BUTTONS and didn't want to go "cutsie" with my card. So, I used some small brown pearls from Zva Creative's Round Pearl Wheel. To make them more balanced, I used the same pearls on the smaller panel. See my fancy combo stitching of zig-zag and straight? I love how it turned out -never mind the THREE PANELS that turned out to be "practice" -LOL!!
Thanks for stopping by and have a GREAT day!
OHHHHHHH! Before I go, I wanted to mention that the winner of my little "goodies giveaway" never contacted me, so I have chosen another winner!
