This is my first time for joining in with Dawn's sketch challenge here and I had to post my cards today cos there will be a new challenge tomorrow... always last minute me...lol
I got to play with some of Chriss's cuttlebug embossing folders last week and I luvs them so I think they may be added to my shopping list pretty soon. I inked the card with my favourite red/brown ink pad and it's cool how the dots stand out. The stamps are from Queen's dresser drawers. I made some paper buttons so I could tie some thread through for a bit more interest.
I also made this quickie card featuring Ellie from here papers from Cosmo Cricket and a bit of additional bling :D I love turning sketches round you get a whole different creation from the same sketch.
Okay that's it from me todayCatch ya later
