OWH SKETCH DAY!

Hi again all my crafty friends! This is my second post for today, so please scroll down to see the first one!

Today is sketch day at Operation Write Home, so I have two cards to share that I made using the sketch, plus I am sharing two more cards that are fall related for the Early Bird Card Drive. So sit back and relax and enjoy!

This card uses Teresa Collins WORLD TRAVELER 6x6 Paper Pad, a Martha Stewart border punch, Inspired by Stamping stamps and flower, and the big flower stamp, which I think is retired. I cannot find a link for it but it is from Inkadinkado. Some ribbon and pearls finish it off.

This is a masculine version of the same sketch. It uses the same paper pad plus Tim Holtz Steampunk On the Edge die, Steampunk embossing folder, Idea-ology hardware, and Hero Arts sentiment.

 

And this is the Operation Write Home Sketch 130. Click here to see other interpretations of this sketch!

NOW FOR MY FALL CARDS FOR THE CARD DRIVE (They do not use any sketches). I have been practicing coloring with my new Copics and I have to admit it is fun.  The next two cards feature images that I colored, so please don’t be too harsh since I am new to this!

This card uses Teresa Collins WORLD TRAVELER 6x6 Paper Pad, Inkadinkado stamp, Copics, Verve sentiment, Really Reasonable Ribbon, gold pearls.

 

Craftwell cardstock, Spellbinders, Heartfelt Creations stamp, Copics, Really Reasonable Ribbon, Rubber Stamp Tapestry sentiment, Tim Holtz hardware.

I also made this card for:
Mynnette’s Spread the L-O-V-E challenge:

Both of the OWH sketch cards are terrific! What a great, creative approach to use the flower stamp to create that scalloped edge! The fall cards are beautiful too!

Your cards are so beautiful! I especially love the masculine one with all the gears. And seeing your fall cards is getting me in the mood to make some of my own. :)

The fall cards are lovely and I think your coloring is great! I really, really love your two different takes on the sketch; the steampunk masculine one is especially fabulous!!!

Wow, these are all so pretty. I love your rich Autumn colors and that flowery one at the top gives me so many CASE ideas. Beautiful clock card for the men too. I love clock themed stuff and you really nailed this one. TFS!
