Here's another sketch challenge that I haven't had time to try - Jen's "Sketch for You to Try"! As you can see, this is another card using the same colours, inks, and papers as the past two. It's the last one, I promise! I hope you're not sick of them? Here's a picture of the dove all done on top of the fabric I cut it out of. I used to have scads of fabric when I was into quilting for a while but I haven't touched it in a long time now that I've found joy in stamping and paper-crafting! So, the fabric was put to good use for these three cards. I'd given the remaining fabric to my mom who really enjoys sewing. Beyond that, the main reason I'd used the fabric is because of a different challenge I'd seen on the Cards blog: to use felt or fabric on your Christmas/Holiday cards.

I can finally say I'm no longer a "bow-tard". It always bugged me that I couldn't create a nice bow ... so I practiced and practiced. I even bought the Bow-Easy tool (which is great, BTW) but I wanted to be able to make a bow without having to buy a tool. I'd seen a wonderful video by Joanne Basile that has TOTALLY helped me! Thanks Joanne! So, you're going to be seeing a lot more bows by moi as time goes by. I LOVE this ribbon for tying these bows. I've got to use it all up before Christmas as I'll probably not touch it again afterwards. It's completely luscious ribbon. I'm so excited to see that the new upcoming mini has satin ribbon in it! Yay!!

Anyways, hope you like my card! Please let me know what you think!
