It's a sketch challenge for OCC

Our talented Chris hosts the challenge this week for Our Creative Corner. There are two criteria for the challenge:
1- Make a card for a male
2-Use the sketch
3-(Optional) you can also use a monochromatic color scheme.
Check out the OCC blog to see what the DT has created to inspire you!

I created the card following the criteria; it is for male, I used the sketch and a monochromatic color scheme. I used the Early Espresso Core'dinations Cardstock (127848) for the background. First, I embossed it with the Woodgrain embossing folder (127821) and then sanded it with the new sanding system (129367). I love the vintage look that those elements give to the card. I used burlap for the horizontal strips and knots for the ends. For the boat scene, I stamped the background with Crumb Cake ink (121030). To give the background that soft look, I first stamped the image on a piece of paper I had lying around, and then stamped it on the cardstock. The compass was stamped with Early Espresso ink (126974). The sentiment is from Itty Bitty Banners (W 126255, C 126257).

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

A very casual challenge for OCC

Happy Saturday to everyone!  Another challenge for Our Creative Corner. If you haven't participated yet, don't hesitate to do it. You are going to have a lot of fun!

This week our talented Paula hosts the challenge. It is an interesting challenge which you cannot miss. Here is the recipe:

Check out the creations that the OCC team has prepared to inspire you.

To create my card, I used two different types of ribbon, Summer Starfruit (126846) and Gumball Green (126848), and the third one is the Linen Thread (194199) that is holding the pennants. As part of the recipe the three buttons are there, and I cut out a piece of denim to create one of the pennants. The sentiment "Celebrate," from Fabulous Phrases (W 117002, C 120501), is on another piece of denim.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful weekend!
