For today we were asked to make a thank you card using one of the wonderful sketches from Operation Write Home - Stars and Stamps Blog. Every week something new to jump start your creativity.
I chose Sketch 191.
When you look at my cards you will see that I brought the back rectangle to the top of the design. I also made the small rectangle much smaller. I made two cards - one more masculine and one more feminine. I hope you enjoy them. The link to get back to the Stars and Stamp blog is at the bottom of the post.
They're both wonderful! I love how you brought the thanks rectangle up front & made it a focal point and isn't it cool how you can make such different cards by just switching out the paper?
ReplyDeleteWhat fun cards!! I love your color choices and the thanks cut out is just plain fun!
ReplyDeletevery pretty cards

Love the cut out sentiment!
ReplyDeleteLovely, fun cards! I really like the papers in the second card.
ReplyDeleteHaving 2 different colorways for the same design shows how color changes the "mood". Great mix of patterns on both cards.
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are super cute, but so loving the papers you chose for the second card!!!
ReplyDeleteWe all pick favorites and I like the second one better.......both cards are nicely done and fun! radloffjen at cableone dot net

ReplyDeleteI like your interpretation of the sketch...the little stamp and envies are so delightful. These are both nice cards. Thank you for sharing and supporting OWH in this blog hop.
ReplyDeleteI forgot to ask on my prior comment...what is the paper that you used for the feminine card?

ReplyDeleteLove the use of the negative cut out on the thanks sentiment. Very cute cards. Thanks for your support of OWH!
ReplyDeleteLove your take on the sketch. I also like seeing the feminine/masculine takes on the sketches. It really helps when trying to create!
ReplyDeleteReally bright and colorful cards.
ReplyDeleteTwo fun and fabulous cards, Barb! Love your colors, dps and how you tweaked the sketch! Happy WCMD "weekend"!
ReplyDeleteNice job combining papers and patterns on both of these Barb. Glad you were able to join in the hop. Thanks for supporting OWH!
ReplyDeleteGreat job with the sketch as a jumping off point. Too often, I do not get past wanting to do it exactly as planned and then cannot seem to make it work for me. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThat sentiment is the star of the show on both cards. It's fun to see the difference paper choice makes. Well done!
ReplyDeleteI like how you changed the sketch and the Thanks speech bubbles.
ReplyDeleteBarb, it is really fun to see your take on the sketch with the "bubble" for the banner. Great cards--you are a huge asset to OWH!
ReplyDeleteVery cute cards, Barb! I like how you tweaked the sketch! Happy WCMD!
ReplyDeleteLove your great big "talk bubbles" with the die-cut greetings. And all the vintage travel elements of your second card. Happy WCMD!
ReplyDeleteThat word bubble is great and I like that you made a male and female version of the card.
