OWH sketch challenge #61

I love this sketch! I'm sure you, blog friend, probably do not remember, but I used some of this DP in my OWH MWT mother's day card challenge a couple of weeks ago. I have a slight scrap paper problem *coughcoughcough* and I really wanted to use the rest of the paper in another project, I just didn't have any ideas for a project! As it turns out, my scrap was the perfect size for this sketch. Papercrafting serendipity. :)

Anyhow, here is the sketch and my card:


Embossing: Cuttlebug divine swirls folder
Stamp sentiment: Unity Stamp Co
Ribbon: American Crafts
Paper: background is SU barely banana, the rest is scraps
Punches: EK success circle and SU scallop
Button from my button jar

The pink matted area is popped up on dimensionals, too! Here's a GREAT tip from my friend, Pam, who first introduced me to OWH (serendipitious, again!): you can use the negative area on your dimensional sheets! Now when I buy them, I use the circles first and then I cut apart the rest of the dimensional sheets bit by bit and use them as well! No waste, and nobody knows!

I just offered to make my sister a bunch of cards for her greeting card stash and I KNOW I will be using this sketch several times! Want to give it a try? Go here and join in!
