Home Sweet Home
Hello, friends! Today we kick off Challenge 46 at Papercraft Star and I'm happy to reveal my card made with this sketch in mind -
As you probably all know by now, I'm a card maker, not a scrapbooker (even though I dream of one day being able to make a layout.) I find that some sketches are more difficult to turn into cards than others and this week's sketch fell into that category for me. I chose to focus on the two photo blocks and turned them into the house cutout and the "home" text. I also used the horizontal elements of the sketch by adding a border to the center of the card and using horizontal striped paper.
I hope you can play along with us this week! Remember to link up your creations by Sunday and then we all get to choose the next Papercraft Star!! Have fun!
Supplies: House Stamp (Hero Arts), DP/Embellishments - 5&Dime Collection (October Afternoon), Twine (PTI), Copic Markers, Card Stock - Confetti Kraft, Very Vanilla (SU!)

Hi Jen!
ReplyDeleteI do think this matches the sketch! Must have been quite a challenge to put that in a card, but it looks great! Love the button for the 'o'! And a cute house and the blue dotted paper is sooo pretty!! Great card, Jen!
Hugs, Wendy
