OWH Sketch challenge 65 for Earth Day

It's sketch challenge day over at the Operation Write Home Stars & Stamps blog! I really like this sketch - it gave me a chance to practice my ribbon-fork tying skills! LOL My five year old thought I was *nuts* with the serving fork. She was amazed, though I admit it doesn't take that much to impress her - makes my job easy some days! :)

I have this adorable "Grow Extraordinary" set from Unity Stamp Co. Sadly, I don't think it's ever seen ink before! I have no idea why, other than I just organized my stamps and now it's much, much easier to find (Scraponizer file folders, cut in half - you can fit 3 half folders plus 8.5x11" stamp keys in one case!!!). I see myself using this one a lot... it's the type of stamp I can see myself using and tucking a note of encouragement into my girls' lunchboxes when they get older!

Anyhow, here's the sketch:

And my card:

Card recipe:
DP (the green and the leaf print) from Lizzie Anne Designs;
green embossed with forest branches ef
Cardstock scraps
American Crafts ribbon
Stamp set - Unity Stamp Co
Colored with Bic Mark-its

I really like how this turned out! I wasn't thinking and embossed the green DP, which doesn't always work well, but it was fine as it's a heavier weight. Oh, and here's the inside with the sentiment:

Thanks for looking!
