Another OWH Sketch Challenge! The sketch is for a vertical card but I turned it on its side. I've been doing a whole lot of vertical folds so I wanted to shake things up a bit. I used a kraft cardstock as the base. Then I used black cardstock for the first layer. The patterned papers are from Kaiser Craft's Lush collection. I have their 6x6 paper pad and its just perfect for creating cards. I stamped my sentiment and added some eyelets with my Crop-a-Dile. I like how the shiny gold gives the card another fun focal point. Of course I also added dash lines with my gel pen and some string tied in a bow. This next card isn't linked to any challenges, its just one I made alongside the first one. I kept it very simple. I used the leftover cut-out from another card to create the window layer. I hate wasting any patterned paper so I like to try to use every bit of it. I heat embossed the sentiment with a white embossing powder. The background is just white cardstock, and I stamped some flourishes with some Tea Dye Distress Ink. Some products I used:

Love how you turned the sketch - and your "stitching" really pulls it all together!!

Great job on the challenge card, and I love how you used white embossing powder on the second card around the sentiment. That makes it look so unique. :)

Great cards! I like how you flipped the sketch and the extra details, like the eyelets and stitching. I have a ton of eyelets and I never think of using them this way :-) TFS!
