I know I've been MIA for a few days, but my creative spark has fizzled. I just felt burned out, so I've been working on a scrapbook project in the meantime. I made time to do the OWH stars and stamps sketch challenge#80, and this is what I came up with although it doesn't completely fit the sketch. Ah well, they say a sketch is just a starting point, so that's my story and I'm stickin' to it! LOLI pulled out some scraps for this one, and used an inchie stamp from SU, coloring it with markers before stamping. The white panel underneath the ribbon strips was scored on the Scor-pal for a little added interest. I originally used a large metal flower brad to gather the ribbons, but after it was all glued down it was much too small, so I got out the metal glue and adhered a flower with a matching brad right over the top. It worked and it's fastened permanently now, so I can't change my mind again :)
I'm going in search of my mojo now, so if anyone sees it, please send it back home! Thanks! Have a fantastic day!

I don't know if it fits the sketch or not Carol, but no matter....it's wonderful. Such pretty colors too. Love how you did the ribbon on that panel.
