It started off As....

A card for Beate's weekend sketch challenge. Then I don't know what happened. It got turned around a little bit. Oh well. I wanted to finish it. That's why I love sketches, because often it's just a starting point & you end up somewhere completely different. Although this time I got the main elements still in the card, two rectangles, and the focal point is a circle. I had to hand cut the circle out - I couldn't find my Fiskars cutter for my circle templates, and I don't have any larger circle punches. The scallops around the circle are circles that I punched out. I used the Nursery Necessities stamps set from SU. Now, I am not big on baby sets, but I really like this set. I like the bold images, and I can take this boat stamp and use it for other cards besides baby cards (kid's birthday for example). They are a little dark in the picture, but the brads are brilliant blue. I also used Pumpkin Pie Striped Grossgrain, along with 3 different SU DSPs. I was mixin&matchin tonight! I'm going to try beate's sketch again tomorrow, and maybe this time it would be a good idea to write down her measurements! LOL! Have a good night!
