Yesterday’s sketch challenge  looked a lot like the Blogger challenge card I made for Sharon on Tuesday.
My downline Stephanie, who is in her last month of pregnancy, came over yesterday.
We hadn’t stamped together in quite a while.
It took us a little bit to get creative, but we did manage to make a card each and work on a project that I can’t show just quite yet.
I started my card by playing some more with my Nestabilities. This time I wanted to use the rectangle to match the sketch. I made a smaller one out of Shimmery White paper, the bigger one out of Chocolate Chip.
In the center of the white rectangle I stamped Merry Christmas in Always Artichoke. The sentiment is from the Holiday & Wishes stamp set.
I then stamped three small flowers from Baroque Motifs on Shimmery white in Purely Pomegranate, cut them out and taped them around the sentiment. I added clear Rhinestone brads in the centers. You can find those in Stampin’ Up!’s Pretties Kit.
The card base is a 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Always Artichoke cardstock folded in half.
The next layer is a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Chocolate Chip. The corners were punched with the ticket corner punch. Over that is a 1/4″ smaller piece of Holiday Harmony Designer paper. The corners were punched and faux stitching was added with All in a Row.
The horizontal layers consist of a sponged and ticket corner punched 2 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ layer of Always Artichoke and a 1/4″ smaller piece of Holiday Harmony Designer paper. After I taped both layers together, I paper pierced the edges. Chocolate Taffeta Ribbon was tied around the bottom of the layers. It looked a little too thin for this big piece, so I taped a strip of the same ribbon underneath.

I loke how you used the scallop and the ticket punch in the same design. It really makes that top image pop. So tell me….What would you do if your ticket punch ever gave out on you? LOL!!!
