You're Fab :: Triple the Sketch

I've gone sketch crazy. You'd think I have a personal goal to do a sketch a day; not the case, but it easily could be, huh?

I picked up this paper pack from K&Co. w/40% off coupon from Michaels. Blue Awning is the name of the line and I love it. Reminds me on denim in a way.

So I grabbed the Triple the Sketch sketch and crafted these cards. I went a bit more simple than the sketch, just trying to tone it down a bitl. I guess it works.

I used a stamp from See-D's (sophisticated friends set) as well as some blue shimmery embossing powder from Joann.

I don't know which card I like the best; they're not really that different, right?

Thanks for looking ... here's what I used:
cardstock: Bazzill
patterned paper: K&Co.
stamp: See-D's
ink: VersaMark
embossing powder: Joann
ribbon: Michaels
oval and scalloped oval die cuts: Nestabilities
other: sewing

Using Triple the Sketch

...another sketch site card. This time it's Triple the Sketch. I really like their sample work. So much variety. So I'm tossing in my two cents. As for the sewing, I intentionally double sewed on the right side, not the look I was going for, but I did it on purpose and I did not feel like starting that section over again. I also used scalloped scissors. They seem a bit dull, so that was not quite satisfying for me either. But I do like the results.

Here's what I used:
cardstock: craft supply
patterned paper: Basic Grey
ink: Tim Holtz/Ranger and VersaMagic
embossing: Cuttlebug
die cut ovals and scalloped ovals: Nestabilities
stamp: ?? (borrowed from my sister)
other: scalloped scissors, sewing and foam tape
