Stepping Out a Little More

This weekend, I went poking around the SCS forums to see what I could find.  You know, because I'm venturing out.  I headed over to the Verve member company forum and found that Amber (who I know from Unity) posted a weekly sketch challenge over there.  I don't have any Verve stamps yet, but Amber said you could play along even if you didn't have any of the stamps.  I haven't completed one of the sketches yet for this month but I will.  Actually, I tried BUT I messed it up a bit so I will try again later.

Here is my first card using a $1 stamp I got from Joann's.  The twist on this sketch was to use hardware which I hardly ever use.  I put brads on the main image.  I was going to make a monochromatic card but it was just so dull so I added some black dots and I put some Black Diamond Stickles on the vellum butterflies.

Here's another one of those sweet $1 stamps from Joann's.  I am in LOVE with this Me and My Big Ideas paper.  In love I tell ya, I need to go buy some more.  I'm usually never this drawn to paper, but I'm sure you've seen it on my blog a few times over the last week.  

And here's my first ever The Greeting Farm card.  I got this image from WishRAK but I will eventually buy it since my little sister's name is Dorothy and she likes Wizard of Oz stuff.  The twist on this sketch was to use bling.  Hello?  That's what I'm good at so here you have some rhinestones and some Stickles on the ruby slippers.
