Die Cuttin' Divas Sketch Challenge

Hi Everyone,

Happy 2014!

It's time for a new challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas, and 

this week's challenge is...

a Sketch Challenge.

 

 

I made this anniversary card for my sister and brother-in law, but shhh...don't tell!  It's coming up soon, and since she's not a blogger, I think I can surprise them.
 

 

Here's the sketch for the challenge, designed by the very talented, Georgiana!

Other news from Die Cuttin' Divas includes the addition of two new Design Team Divas!  Be sure to visit the DCD blog to welcome Connie and Shelly to the team.  And check out the creative projects by all the design team Divas.

To enter this week's challenge, make a card or layout following the sketch shown above.  Be sure to include a die-cut in your project  and link your post back to the Die Cuttin' Divas site by January13.

 

I think I really like the color combos I used.  The plaid and orange striped papers are from DCWV Animal Crackers.  The green paper with polka dots is from Recollections Bold Basics, as is the green diamond patterned paper. 

The pears are cut from Just Because Cards cartridge, and the mat behind it came from Art Philosophy cartridge.  The mat was embossed with Musical Flourish and the leaves with Herringbone.  The sentiment is typed from my computer, and I popped up that and the pears with foam squares as you can see above.  The adhesive accents are from Heidi Grace. 

 

 

 

I finished the inside with matching papers and applied a heart border along the bottom.

I'd like to also enter this card into the following challenges:

FCCB #192 - use a sentiment

Just B Creative Crazy - just because/anything goes
LSP Fun Friday Linky Party - anything goes

My 14th Wedding Anniversary

My husband and I will celebrate our 14th wedding anniversary this weekend, and I made this card for him.  I love how it turned out, and I think he'll love it, too.   It was fun to make!

 

Here's How I Did It

White base card is 5 x 6.5".  The black patterned papers are from Making Memories 8x8 B&W Paper Pad that I picked up at Tuesday Morning for $1.99 (one of my good finds!).  Ribbon is from Michael's $1 bin.  His & Her towels and towelbar are cut from Sweetheart cart at 3".  Used Cuttlebug Paisley folder to emboss the towels.  Some red bling to show up the towelbar.  The sentiment is computer generated. Popped up the towels and sentiment.  Inside I used the same paper and punched the black with my heart border punch from Recollections (I'm really liking that punch).  "Happy Anniversary" is stamped with Hero Arts clear stamp set, Everyday Sayings.  It has 20 nice sayings-all on the small size, but really nice fonts.  Thanks for stopping by and taking a look!  Appreciate your comments.
