Here's my sample for the sketch. I re-sized the panels to fit what I had in mind. I found this beautiful piece of patterned paper. I'm sorry but I don't know from which collection it came from. But I really loved the combination of the soft green with the kraft.
I used Say It Loud for the sentiment. And I didn't have an edge die that matched the sketch so I just stamped Very Vintage Labels No. 18 and adhered it beneath the front panel of my card. I hope you like my simple card for the sketch challenge. I'll see you all over there!
Onto the September WMS Blog Waltz. The theme for this month's blog waltz is anything Halloween related. And I'm still really, really fixated on my Midnight Feast and Halloween Party. So I used both on my card.
I layered the images on my card with some double sided foam tape. And inked EVERYTHING! lol! :) I tried twirling the twine I used on the button. I keep seeing it everywhere now and thought it was pretty. It took a while but I finally managed to do it.
I can't wait to see what everyone made for the Waltz! :)
My oh my your cards are breathtaking!
