Sketchy Love

It's December 1st, and that means the new sketch challenge is up at Artful Delight. Here is this month's sketch:

I took the opportunity to open up some of my recently acquired stash and break into it, so this card is partly play, but I mostly did stay with the sketch.  Here's my card, then I'll explain:

I cracked open my Basic Grey Clippings 6x6 pack (I know, I know, I said no more, but ... I am weak). The bigger deal here, though are the dies I used to make the curly thingie. Those are made with the LifeStyle Crafts Petite Petals dies. There are two of them in the set and they are about 12" long. HA, I kid. Maybe.

I cut the wider die from a black remnant, then the narrower one from a piece of the BG Clippings paper and layered it over the center. It's a perfect fit.

I trimmed the card by 1/2" on the open end so I could have the banner hang over for that element of the sketch. I used a scrap of SU Black Taffeta ribbon to anchor the banner, and used hearts punched with my trusty MS Heart Confetti punch for the other sketch elements.

This card is mostly flat, so it will go into my OWH pile that I need to get into the mail. I'll tackle that effort tomorrow.

Thanks for stopping by!
