Sketch #52! A Year in Sketches

Wow, it's hard to believe a year of sketches at the Stars and Stamps Blog has come and gone! And I didn't even complete half of them! I need to do better! I will do better!

Here's the sketch for this week:


Circles intimidate me, but I prevailed! I looked through the entries posted on the S&S Blog for some inspiration and then designed this card:


Card stock: Bazzill
Patterned paper: from an old book given to me by my cousin, Judi, during a visit to Berlin (I can't read the German, but it's bound to be OK. Judi's a missionary!)
Punches: EK (flowers, circle), Punch Bunch (fern),
Nestabilities: Lacey Circles
Embossing folder: Square Lattice from SU
Stamp: Hero Arts
Cricut: cut lots of 2.75" circles

  4. Miss Dixie, you have outdone yourself. This card is gorgeous! I love the two circles together that way. I immediately went to EK Success to find that flower punch and didn't see it. Guess what? I already own it but haven't ever used it. That's pitiful.
