MWT and Sketches 5, 6, 7

This week over at Operation Write Home, the mid-week throwdown is to use bling with no glitter. I didn't have any problem with this! I rarely, and I mean very rarely, use glitter for anything. Every so often I'll use Stickles, but I find it so annoying how glitter sticks to everything!

I also combined the MWT with three sketches. Here is OWH sketch 5.

I used my new Hero Arts set Earth Flowers and stamped it in three different colors. I pierced around the edges and used a black pen to make it look like stitching because I wanted the stamped flowers to stand out a bit more. I'm not sure who makes the "missing you" stamp.The background paper is from DCWV and the pink on it is metallic for a bit of bling. The other papers are all from my stash and the ovals are a Nestability.

Next is OWH sketch 6.

I really enjoyed working with this one and have a feeling I'll be using it often. The patterened paper is a single sheet of double-sided Graphic 45. The monkey sticker is from The Paper Studio. My hubby bought them for me when we made the trek up north to our new Hobby Lobby a few months ago. They are so adorable and I've made several cards with them. I added some Pearl Pen for a bit of bling.

The last one for today is OWH sketch 7.

This one made me think a bit since I'm not a fan of vertical sentiments. So instead of a sentiment, I used some Prima flowers with rhinestone brads. I ran the paper through my Cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots folder. It's simple, but pretty, I think.

I hope you enjoyed my takes on these sketches. Have you been working on any?
