This is my interpretation of the sketch. This was a lot of fun. There are so many sketches out there to try, but I had never done it. Can't wait to see yours!

Sketch Challenge

Kelli challenged us to use this sketch for our April card contest.

3 X 3 Cards

I love making 3 X 3 cards. They are perfect to drop in gift bags instead of a larger card. So fast & easy. The tulip card is made from the wing of the Extra Large Two-Step Bird punch. Totally cased from someone on Stampin' Connection. Those ladies can make ANYTHING with a punch!

Fluffy Flower

This is a 3 X 3 card we all made for Valentine's Day. The fluffy flower is made of 8 layers of tissue paper punched out with the Scallop Circle punch. Then scrunched. Herb thinks this looks like a real flower, maybe moss rose. I really like this flower and make these to embelish gift wrapping and gift bags.

Another Flower Sample using book pages

This flower is several layers of Scalloped Circles punched from book pages, then scrunched. The die was borrowed from Janie; Bag w/Scallops. The leaves are wings from the Extra Large Two-Step Bird punch.

Inspired by a card in Paper Crafts Magazine

This card is from a sketch I saw in Paper Crafts magazine. The flower is 5 pages from an old book punched with the Scallop Circle punch, then scrunched up. I wanted the edges red, but sponging wasn't vivid enough. So I just dragged the punched out pieces accross my Real Red pad until I had enough saturation of the red.

Bird Punch card

This card was from February and is a Valentine's Day card. We used the Extra Large Two Step Bird punch and the stamp set, Vintage Vogue. The dsp is Bella Bleu. Love that bird punch!
