I thought I'd try something different for me this week and create a little notched cut-out in the sketch. Now, you don't have to cut out the panel for a negative die cut look, but it sure is kind of fun! I'm using some goodies from My Favorite Things tonight - mostly featuring MPD Fancy Butterflies Die-namics.

I started with a Sno Cone Card Stock base and then cut out a panel in Steel Grey Card Stock and then stamped a diagonal striped pattern in Steel Grey Ink with one of the Plaid Background Builder stamps. I stamped the sentiment from MPD Contemporary Roses in Steel Grey Ink and then added some orange sequins for a fun accent.
There is much more inspiration for you! Please hop on over and see what the fabulous Sweet Sunday Stampers have whipped up:

ReplyDeleteHi Karen,
ReplyDeleteI made a card using this sketch and it was picked as a favorite at Little Red Wagon this week. Thought you might like to know. It's #34 in your the entries to your challenge.
I had previously commented that I loved this sketch and planned to use it. And I guess someone else loved how I used it. Thanks for the beautiful sketch.
