Stamping 411 Sketch Challenge #243

Sorry I am late with my post this evening!! I totally spaced it after having a long day running errands in town, getting my oldest daughter her drivers permit (gasp!! I know!!!!), getting home just in time for my Friday night Scrapbooking Club and then I was getting everything ready for my team meeting I have tomorrow here at my house. I finally just sat down and remembered that I totally forgot to post my 411 challenge and card.

I loved this sketch as soon as I saw it and the first thing that came to my mind was our Medallion Background Stamp. Love it when inspiration strikes right away!!!

This card uses Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler & Very Vanilla Card Stock, Cherry Cobbler 1 1/4" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon, Crochet Lace Ribbon, Distressing Tool from the Cutter Kit, Scallop Circle & Wide Oval Punches, Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spray, Medallion Background Stamp, Polka Dot Single Stamp and a brand new stamp set we got at Leadership!! I don't have it in front of me at the moment so I will have to edit my post later with the name of it.


Want to know how I did my ribbon?? Take about 8 1/2" of the Striped Grosgrain Ribbon and cut off one edge. Starting at one end pull some strands off all the way to the other end. I carefully placed these strands in a pile because I then used them on this card too. Pretty neat??

Head on over to the Stamping 411 Blog to check out the other Operator's cards. I am sure they have not disappointed!!

Have a great day!!
