OWH Sketch 51

Stars & Stamps blog's challenge this week is this sketch.


While watching the weather channel this morning (yes, for our house, this is exciting TV), one of the women had on a pattern black on white skirt, black jacket and yellow shirt. LOVED it. I told my husband - that'd make a great card! Do you do that too? See patterns for scrapping in people's clothes or get layout ideas from certain outfits?

Anyway, here is her outfit...er, I mean, my card for the challenge. I used drywall tape under the yellow ribbon for the horizontal piece.


Well, I'm off to make some more of these cards since I have a 12x12 sheet of the background paper to use up. I've got to spend a day using scraps only again. My scrap bags (sorted by color) are getting full.

Keep your heart open and let your creativity change someone's life. Thanks for stopping by...Susan

  3. I love your colors and lol'd over your inspiration at the Weather Channel (we're always watching that)! I read somewhere that there is color inspiration all around us! Your card is very pretty and I love that mesh strip.

  5. The color combination is very appealing, I love to see colors "pop" when black is used. Shows creative talent!
