2 Sketches 4 You :: Take Good Care

I almost did not do this week's challenge because I don't have any large stars. I guess I could make one, huh?

But I was near Archiver's and that made it possible. I went to As, bought a piece of cardstock and used their Ellison dies. I was hopeful that I could match up the cardstock w/some patterned paper.

This ended up looking nice. At least I like it. I have been soooo critical of my cards lately, but this one has a bit of character.

Nothing new and nothing fancy; just the basics.

Thanks for looking ... here's what I used:
cardstock: craft supply and Bazzill
patterned paper: K&Co. Que Sera Sera
star die cuts: Ellison
ribbon: Offray
stamp: Hero Arts
ink: Color Box
dry embossing: Cuttlebug Texture Textile

What a deal on these dies!

I was trolling the web the other day when I stumbled across $3 dies on the Sizzix site. I dropped one in the cart; then two ... and the next thing I know I'm up to $25 for five dies. One is a large heart, which I've used the already. The others are a frame, a small envelope, stars (in 3 sizes) and a mini file folder.

Good stuff.

I use my dies in the Cuttlebug. I really like the dies that cut through chipboard.
