Happy Friday!! Here I am, posting this week's Weekend Sketch Challenge!! Feels just like "old times" doesn't it? LOL!! I am SO glad Beate is back with her sketches...it just makes creating so much easier! :-)
I was in need of a birthday card, and thought this week's sketch was perfect for it! A friend of our family is turning 88 years old soon. She is an incredibly kind, humble, energetic person, with such a profound wisdom and has blessed our family in many ways! Because I wanted her card to be special, I reached for one of Rubbersoul's "Wordsworth Remembering" line (I chose theDickinson collection). I love quotes, and these stamps showcase some of my favorite ones!
I embossed the quote onto Pearlized Cream cardstock, added a subtle flourish (also from the Dickinson Collection), and layered it onto a vellum panel. Instead of using another strip of cardstock, I placed a strip of ribbon below the quote. The flourishy edge of the patterned paper (by Sassafrass Lass) is actually part of the paper!! I LOVE it!! The cream cardstock on the right, is actually the inside of the card...which I also decorated! :-)
I used some of the same elements from the front, but changed the rectangle to an oval.
For more eye candy, check out what these talented ladies have created: Beate, Cambria, Charmaine, Jenn, Lori, Mary Jo, & Sharon!
Thanks for visiting!! Have a wonderful Friday! ~Laurie
