I made this card for my husband's grandmother who is turning 92 this upcoming weekend.

I used the layout for the Operation Write Home Sketch Challenge #105 for this card.

Here is the sketch.

All the paper used on this card is from Stampin' UP!

I used Nestabilities dies for the circles, scallop circle and tag

The "92" are cut out using my Cricut Expression and the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge

The ribbon is from May Arts.. the other side of that pretty green is pink

The sentiment is from a Stampin' UP! Birthday set ~ can't remember name

White brads are some I picked up at some craft store

and of course there are dimensionals used on it!! ha ha

OWH Color Challenge ~ Set of Garden Collage cards

Years ago I sold my Stampin' UP! Garden Collage stamp set and have regretted it ever since. When we were in Albuquerque, NM recently I was browsing through eBay and found a great deal on it and another set.. so I snatched it up. It arrived this week and this morning I set out to make some cards using the OWH Color Challenge. I made all the cards the same.. except I colored the butterfly on each one a different color.

Pink

Blue

YellowPurpleOrangeAqua BlueRed
Here they all are again... I am so happy with how they turned out. Where the sentiment is was a bow on the first card I made.. I didn't like the looks of the bow so I took it off and added the sentiment to it and each of the others as well.

Supplies:

card stock: White, Black

ink: Memento black, assorted markers

accessories: Stampin' UP! black ribbon, large oval punch, label punch, Brads, Hole Punch and Dimensionals
