OWH Weekly Sketch #186 challenge
Hi! Here is this week's sketch at the OWH Stars & Stamps blog:
And here's a card I made. It was a rainy day, good for making cards, but nothing seemed to go right today--one of those days. So I decided to try a monochromatic card and got out the Stampin' Up bird punch and matching stamp that I haven't used in awhile. The black & ivory DP are from a pack I got at Michael's some time ago. I decided to add just a pop of cranberry red, so I got out the dreaded cranberry pigment ink, which is one of my favorites but takes forever to dry. You may think it's dry, but it usually isn't, lol. It's such a pretty color, tho! Then I added two nice flat buttons from JoAnn's.
The sentiment is a wood-mounted stamp I've had forever.
So, after a bit of crooked cutting and almost train wrecks, I think this turned out pretty! I also posted my card at Cards in Envy's "For the Birds" challenge. Thanks for stopping by.

that is a pretty card Sherry
Gorgeous, Sherry! Great job not smearing that ink (don't we all have one of those stamp pads? and it's usually the color we reach for the most, lol)
I have that paper pack as well and love how you combined those papers for this sketch. I have struggled with those papers for some reason, but I will try this sketch with them now. Thank you for the inspiration.

Love the pop of red...great papers! Tfs!
This is gorgeous Sherry, I like the sweet image, and the fab colours.
