OWH sketch challenge #60

It's sketch challenge day over at the Stars & Stamps blog!  This one was a little tricky for me. I ended up making two cards. This was the first one:















Card recipe:
Random solid cardstock
Animal print DP: DCWV
Stamps: Lizzie Anne Designs

I wasn't so sure I loved the card, and I was putting away my supplies and spied my Cuttlebug 'traffic jam' embossing folder. Then I thought for a moment and pulled out part of a DCWV paper stack, and ended up with this:
















Card recipe:
Solid cardstock - SU and scraps
Glittery DP - DCWV
Pearl embellies - Hero Arts
Cuttlebug embossing folder - traffic jam

Eh. I'm not sure about this one, either! LOL I embossed the smaller white strip at an angle so the squares appear to be diamonds and follow the glittery argyle. I could see this as an anniversary card. I wish I would've incorporated a brighter color into it - maybe red??  Stay tuned - I might rework this again and see what I can come up with!

Thanks for looking! ETA: I just decided to offer some *blog candy*! Refresh my blog for the most current post so you see the details. :)

  1. I like them both! Nice, simple styles and colors. For the top one, I like the different combinations of orange, brown, and cream with different animal sizes. For the bottom one, yes, it would be fun to try with more color, but your gray and black is very stylish. Thanks for sharing them.
