Found A Use For My Wide Grosgrain

I was blurfing this morning and saw a card posted where they had used wide ribbon and put a narrower ribbon on top. A light bulb went off and I thought of my wide grosgrain and how I could use some of my stash up in this way. I used the sketch from 2 Sketches 4 You. I also combined it with the color challenge from the Colour Create blog. I like the looks of…

I thought it would be fun to use a shape and stamp something on the shape. I looked…

A New Sketch Challenge Blog

I had a lady comment on one of my cards on Splitcoast. She mentioned her sketch challenge blog, priscillastyles, and how she would love to have me participate. I decided to check out the blog and when I did I liked the sketch for this week so I used it for this card. Her sketches are called Midnight Madness. When I saw the sketch I thought it would fun to use the Eastern Blooms stamp…
