PPA133-SKETCH!

Hello everyone! Welcome to the Pals Paper Arts Challenge #133-Sketch by Margaret Moody!


My colors were chosen with this print from Summer Smooches designer paper in mind. I was not sure what to do with the circle part of this sketch, and then I took another look at the Paper Doily Die and thought if I snipped the inner circle out, I'd have the perfect size for my square card! It worked out perfectly. Instead of using paper elements for my vertical strips, I used two colors of seam binding and tied them up with knots.


Banner end was created using my (retired) photo corner punch. Notice my sentiment? It is from a soon-to-retire stamp set called "Grateful Greetings." If you must have this set, you must purchase it before May 31st! (116511 $36.95) There is a host of sentiments in this set for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and Valentine's Day. Click HERE to see 14 cards/projects I made using this set.

Consider playing along with the Pals! We'd love to see what you do with this week's sketch!

Those double knots were a great idea, Patti! Your paper doily looks great here, just the right element!

This is such a lovely card--brightly happy and soft at the same time. Each element works so well together!

smart to give grateful greetings a shout out before it retires. it's the perfect balance for this card. very chic to layer the die cut over the circle! hugs, m
