Sept 5th Card Challenge ~ Stuck on U Sketches


Happy Hump Day, everyone! Today marks another Card Challenge Reveal Day over at Stuck on U Sketches. We are ecstatic this month to have a very special Guest Designer, none other than my scrappy friend, Frank Garcia. Please visit his blog at Haus of W and see the awesome projects he has created!  You won't be sorry!

Today's sketch was designed by yours truly ... and leaves room for all kinds of possibilities. So, I hope that you will have an opportunity to play along with our challenge this time. This is really an easy, peasy sketch! 

I was itching to do an easel card, so I turned the sketch horizontally and went from there!



My papers are the yummy Glitz Cashmere Dame along with some solid red card stock. You can see that I've used my Martha Stewart Floral Vine punch on both the outside and the inside of the card. My sentiment is a Heartfelt Creations stamp and is stamped in black, Then I've used my Labels 4 Die to cut as well as to emboss. Then I made a larger cut to frame the first. Behind those are a random doily from my stash as well as some fussy cut flowers from the patterned paper. I then added a few tiny buttons as per the sketch.  



I always like to use ribbon on my cards, so I've added a double bow using some crinkle ribbon from the Craft Spot. Then I added a button without stitching .. the product of being in a hurry ... LOL I finished the card with a butterfly constructed from a couple of my Martha Stewart punches.  One small red pearl and it is ready to go! 

I hope that you will join in on our card challenges. They are posted on the first and third Wednesdays and you have 2 weeks to upload your NEW project utilizing the sketch. Can't wait to see your cards!! 

Thanks for coming by!
