Card Sketch Monday - Paper and Ink Sketches #1

Hello - 
Last week I participated in the inaugural Paper and Ink Sketches challenge hosted by Angie Juda on Facebook.  I have admired Angie's creativity for years and I was so happy to be part of her first sketch challenge.  This challenge was clean and simple, just the way I like them. 

 

I stayed true to the sketch as did many others that posted their creations on Facebook.   It is a great way to use up bits of DSP and ribbon that are hanging around.  Instead of ribbon you could add a coordinating paper border and create a bow with the Bow Builder Punch.  You could even add a matching envelope made with the Envelope Punch Board.  I used the Perfect Pairings stamp set for my sentiments, but any sentiment would work on this card. 

I had so much fun making one card that I ended up making six.  I am working on a little box for them as I plan to gift this set to a dear friend and school teacher.  You can check out the other Paper and Ink Sketches cards here on FB.

This card design was inspired by Nicolle Belesimo, the layout is perfect for this color combination.  I used my favorite flourish from Everything Eleanor stamp set, added a sentiment is from Perfect Pairings, and attached six small blossoms--all done.  So easy, I love the simplicity of this card.
