Natana Card

Natana - 5 Pieces

Once again I have used a sketch from Unscripted Sketches. This one also has a circle in it. I really like how this one turned out with the Cosmo Cricket papers! I put a small foam square behind the circle to give the card some dimension, I love the way it turned out!

Used: 5 Pieces of the "Early Bird" line by Cosmo Cricket.

Boone Card

Boone - 6 Pieces

This is from another sketch challenge over at Unscripted Sketches. I like that it has more than one circle in it. I tend to stay away from circles in sketches for some reason, but I have been trying to get out of my comfort zone in that area and this sketch is perfect for that!

Used: 6 Pieces of the "Simply Scarlet" line by K&Company.

*Ribbon (1/2 inch or 3/8 inch) can be substituted for the horizontal strip towards the top of the card.

A Bit of Explanation . . .

I get a lot of questions as to why I give my cards names, and I'll explain why I do. There are some people in this world that are good with dates, numbers, places, etc. I happen to be good at remembering names. I am much more likely to remember a name that I've given a card than a number. Numbers and I don't get along. If I'm looking for a card and I think "Oh, the Triston would be perfect" this is much easier for me to remember than "Card #45". So, if I use one of your Challenge Sketches to make a card, and you don't appreciate me giving it a name, please let me know and I will promptly remove it.
