Today I’m playing along with another of Connie & Mary’s fabulous sketch challenges (CCMC289). Here’s the sketch:
And here’s my card.

| (Stamp Sets: Timeless Talk, Teeny Tiny Wishes; Ink: Pumpkin Pie, Pacific Point; Card Stock: Old Olive, Pacific Point, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White; Accessories: Pacific Point Striped Ribbon, Banner Punch, Modern Label Punch, Arrows Embossing Folder, Old Olive Candy Dots) |
I’d already inked up this bicycle stamp in Pumpkin Pie from the Timeless Talk set
and it was
just waiting to become part of a new card. I looked at my Color Coach to
see what combinations I could use with Pumpkin Pie and came up with Old
Olive and Pacific Point. Yay! I have some brand new Striped Pacific
Point ribbon from the Occasions catalog that I hadn’t used, so I got
that out to play with and made the larger pennant. Then I used one of
the stamps from the Sale-a-Bration Banner Blast set for the smaller
pennant. I used the Arrows Embossing Folder from the Occasions catalog
and embossed a strip of Pumpkin Pie card stock and cut one strip of
arrow for the diagonal piece. I finished off the card with the Happy
Birthday Sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes using the Modern Label Punch set off with Old Olive Candy Dots.
When I showed my DD the card (she is my best critic–I really value her opinion even if she’s only 14!), she said, “Did you use a staple? That’s new.” I think she approved.
This is awesome! Love the way you used the little banner and the ribbon! Very clever! And your colors are bold bright and FUN!! Thanks for playing the challenge at Create with Connie and Mary!
