WM Sketch Challenge #108


Today I have a card I made for WMSC #108, a really cute sketch by Belinda Chang Langner. Here's the sketch:

Although I love tag cards...and I mean I really love them, I have been wanting to try my Vintage Banners stamp set, so instead of a tag...I used one of the cute banners as my sketch focal point.

I used Crate Paper, Little Bo Peep patterned paper I just received from my friend Joyce (Cards by the Sea). It has such pretty pink, yellow and blue patterns. I stamped a houndstooth background using WM Heirloom Patterns and the sentiment is from WM Compact Sentiments. I made this while I am on vacation, so I will keep this post very brief. I am so happy I have finally got some craft supplies here with me so I am not totally cut off from crafting, it makes my vacation that much better!

What a great take on the sketch. So creative. Love that banner set, and your beautiful bow and flower. So glad you liked the paper--I saw it at the store, and it screamed your name out to me.

Cathy, this is so adorable...really has a fun vintage look and your bow, just so sweet. I love how you stamped your sentiment over the houndstooth background, very clever. I would love to have your background paper as some wall paper too, so beautiful!
