You know I can’t stick to sketches, not even my own. LOL
I made this card for the weekend sketch challenge. I exchanged the square in the center for an oval. I had the stamp set Sweet Sampler for a while, but haven’t used it until now.
I used the color combo from this week’s Color Challenge Basic Rocks: Basic Black, Basic Gray and River Rock
The card base is a 4 1/4″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Basic Black cardstock folded in half.
Next is a 4″ square of Basic Gray cardstock, followed by a 3 3/4″ piece of Brocade Background Designer paper.
For both layers each corners were punched with the ticket corner punch.
Faux stitching was added in basic Black with the Argyle stamp from All in a Row. The edge of the Designer paper was also paper pierced.
For the main image I stamped enjoy in Black Stazon on Very Vanilla Cardstock. I sponged the edges with River Rock ink and added a paper pierced border.
I cut the sentiment out with the Coluzzle and layered it first on a Basic Gray cardstock oval followed by a Basic Black oval. I used my corner rounder to add scallops to the black layer.
To add more interest, I added piece of Pewter Hodgepodge hardware with Gray Taffeta Ribbon to the left side of the oval. The ribbon was tied with black hemp.
On the right side of the oval I added a 1/4″ black circle with a Pewter brad in the center. I can’t just use brads anymore…they look even better with a coordinating 1/4″ circle of cardstock underneath.

This is beautiful. I will have to give the circle under the brad a try next time I break those open. Mahalo!
I love, love, love the Sweet Sampler and have been kicking myself for not ordering it already. My next order it’s in there!
Great card, these colors are fantastic and just so classic.

That is gorgeous! Love the design and the colors together! I can’t believe you made such a perfect, scallop edge on your oval piece! I also have that Enjoy stamp set and haven’t used it yet, so thanks for the inspiration!
Awesome Beate and so elegant too.
Stunning card and layout. LOVE the centerpiece, Jennifer 🙂
I have stared at this set in the catalogue since it came out and thought it was so nice but haven’t actually bought it…guess what’s going on my order this week? hehehehe
This is so elegant! I love the piercing.
Love the oval sentiment — this is beautiful in these colors, too, Beate! Thanks for a great challenge!

I just love your creations, Beate, and your use of the All in a Row just never ceases to amaze me. It looks like real stitching! Your sketch designs are always awesome, clean, fresh, and fun!
