Welcome to the first challenge of 2011 on the Create with Connie & Mary blog! Come along and play with us!
Today’s challenge is a sketch challenge, my favorite!
My Card:
I dug out a stamp set I’ve had for quite some time but haven’t used. As a demonstrator, when trying to show new stamp sets and new supplies, some of the stamp sets get tucked away on my stamp shelf and I forget to use them! Imagine that!
Want a quick way to make a bow? I cut a piece of ribbon, added “Mini Glue Dots” on one end and adhered to the other end to make a circle. I then flattened it, and tied a piece of “Linen Thread” in the center and it automatically gathered the center. Glue in place with “Mini Glue Dots”.Supplies Used:
- Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Not Quite Navy, Pretty In Pink
- Punches: Corner Rounder
- Accessories: Brads, 1 1/4″ Striped Grosgrain Ribbon in Pretty In Pink, Linen Thread, Stampin’ Dimensionals
- Tools: Big Shot, Scallop Square Duo Die, Manhatten Flower Impressions Folder
- Stamp Sets: Fifth Avenue Floral, You’re A Gem (new in the Mini Catalog!)
- Inks: Pretty In Pink, Not Quite Navy

Beautiful card. Love the bow tip. Will definitely give that one a try.
These colors are wonderful togther and that ribbon looks fabulous!
So lovely! I really do love that combination of colours and you're right – I too have so many things I should be using, they do get lost in the shuffle. Thanks for the reminder. 🙂
I like what you have done with this sketch, the scallop die, the flowers and colours.
Very elegant! Great color combo!
Lovely card. I have this stamp set and am always looking for ideas to use it. Thanks for sharing.
