I also discovered a relatively new challenge called {PIN}spirational Challenges, so I combined Julie's bonus sketch with this inspirational photo below from Pinterest for their challenge #8. They're also having a DT call for those of you who might be interested in that.
I noticed that the woman is wearing fishnet stockings, so I used my CHF chicken wire backgrounder - it's the closest thing I have to fishnet :) All those buckles on the boots reminded me of diamonds, so I used my Diamonds in the Rough ef. The sentiment is by Kitchen Sink Stamps, and I layered it on 2 Spellbinders Grommet Tags, adding black ribbon from my stash to resemble the belt in the photo. The card stock is SU! retired Tangerine Tango.
That's going to do it for me today - I hope you're all enjoying a great holiday weekend and thanks so much for stopping by.

Carol, Two great cards. I love them both. I think I really HAVE to have the barbed wire stamp. Time to sit down and get ready for the race. Go tony!
Both of your cards are great! I haven't done the second sketch yet. I love the chicken wire background stamp
Carol, these are fantastic! Love the layout and colors on the first one and the second is just so "cool" looking with that chicken wire background! Great!

Both are great cards, Carol, great take on the challenges!
I love the colors on your first card. I've never seen someone make a card using a photo as inspiration and you really did a great job! Her boots totally go with the card.
Gorgeous cards! Thanks so much for participating in the {PIN}spirational Challenges blog this week!!

Both cards are cool....I SO wish I had that CHF chicken wire stamp!!!!
Both cards are way cool, but I Love, love, love(!!!!!) how you interpreted the second one! Even to the orangey red hair! And I'm with the others; I now have chicken wire stamp envy! LOL
So happy you joined us this week at {PIN}spirations with your awesome card! Love the patterns and textures!
Carol, your creations are wonderful. I love the pink and black combo in the first one. And your bonus sketch is super cool love it!
Great job on both of these Carol! I really like how you cut the embossing folder in the 3 pieces and the way you tied the twine to come out from the back of that button. Two very creative ideas that I think I need to swipe from you :)
Gorgeous Card! I love your colors and that is always one of my favorite combos!
Both great takes on the sketches Carol! Took two trips to the store this weekend-both times Rob was singing "Someday"---isn't that a coincidence? Made going to the store a little more enjoyable!
Your hello card is so sweet..love the dotted banner and the little striped piece you stamped on.
The next card is super...who but you would have thought of the chicken wire as a substitute for the fishnet stockings..very clever, Carol.
Hope your holiday was great. It was a beautiful, long weeked here and I enjoyed it so much.
Both awesome cards, Carol! Love the pink and black color combination especially. Thanks for joining us in this week's OWH Stars & Stamps Sketch Challenge!
