Here's the sketch from
OWH's Stars & Stamps challenge #174 and this is my take on it...
I love this Lawn Fawn Valentine set and I think it makes great cards for every day as well as Valentine's day. I'm using some retired SU! dsp I've been hoarding, along with some vanilla cardstock. I tweaked the sketch just a tad and added tiny hearts because it just looked better than a strip of vertical cardstock. The embossing folder is CB decorative tiles and the ribbon was from my stash. The image was colored with Copics.
I still have half a pack of this pretty SU! Haiku paper left, so I decided to try Seongsook Duncan's one-sheet wonder tutorial found on
her blog, and on the Stars & Stamps tutorial page
here.
Here's one design that shows the embellishments I used, including a die-cut flower matching those in the design of the dsp, along with a die-cut circle and a punched flower. The sentiment was done with SU! teeny tiny wishes, and punches. I attached the flowers with a tiny brad to the card front, and then adhered the card front to the base. Here are the 8 cards I made out of one sheet of paper...
I used old olive, and some dark orange card stock for the die cuts, flowers & mats and an assortment of brads from my stash.
Thanks for this great tutorial
Seongsook - it is a great way to use up that dsp we're hoarding, and there are no scraps left to worry about using!
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy your week!

I looked at this sketch a couple of different times Sunday and could not come up with anything in my mind that looked good so I decided not to partake int the challenge. I love the idea you had to use the hearts instead of a strip. Maybe you've given me more to think about ow. Thank you. A very nice job with Seongsook's tutorial. She would be proud. I really like that little flower. Enjoy your day. I'm off to breakfast with a friend (which will probably last until lunch- usually does), then I have a hairdresser appointment. It's going to beautiful here today but I will be spending most of it indoors. That's OK though.
Absolutely adore your sketch card! All the details are perfect! WTG! Great one sheet wonder cards...I have yet to try that.
Carol, your pear card is just the cutest. Great job getting 8 cards made with the OSW tutorial. What a great way not to waste (as I do) HA You are are a super card maker.
Your cards came beautiful! The images and pattern papers are all wonderful choices. I like how you simplified it and it still works. Your other cards just as nice plus you used the tutorial which I even have yet to try!
Love your take on the sketch and that sentiment is just fab.
Wow to all those different cards you have managed to make too. Off to have a look at the tutorial so thanks for the links. Hugs Mrs a.
