Simple Urban Thanks
I hardly had time to stamp the last few days, so my card sample for today’s sketch challenge had to be super quick.
My card base is a 3 1/2″ x 11″ piece of Baja Breeze cardstock folded in half.
The Urban Garden Designer Paper strip measures 2 1/8″ x 3 1/2″ It is layered on a slightly bigger piece of Whisper White. The top was punched with the Scallop Edge Punch. On the bottom of the strip I added a scalloped Old Olive Layer. 5/8″ wide Olive grosgrain ribbon was tied around the lower part of the designer paper and the top of the designer paper was paper pierced.
The sentiment is from the Pocket Silhouette stamp set. It was stamped with Night of Navy classic ink on a 1 3/8″ whisper White cardstock circle. The circle was taped underneath the Old Olive cardstock. I attached a small Filigree designer brad with a circle Ice Rhinestone brad on the top of the sentiment. All layers were attached to the card base with dimensionals.

Love the sketch and your card is perfectly simple! I don’t know how you pick such great colors. It’s a real talent. Wanna pick the colors for my son’s room that we’ll be repainting soon? That’d be fun! I could tell people that my son’s room is an Original Beate Color Scheme! LOL! I’ll be back later to post my card for the sketch. Have a great weekend!

That navey with the softer blues and the ribbon is so lovely. It looks like a great sketch, and hopefully life here is back to normal and I’ll have time to give it a go!
Enjoy your weekend.

This is gorgeous Beate. I can see I need to order those filigree designer brads. Nice touch w/ the scallops.
Posted by: shelly | October 18th, 2008 20:04
Beate, this is lovely! Along with everyone else, I love the filigree brad, but it caught my eye mainly because a friend of mine just gave me one TODAY! Lucky me!
Love your sketch too. Hope to give it a try!

So gorgeous!! I’ve been trying to avoid getting the silhouette stamps, but now I may just have to get me some of that paper!
Posted by: libby | October 18th, 2008 22:57
This is so pretty, Beate!! I love those papers, and how the Olive ribbon pops off of those colors!! Love your hardware with bling too!!

Posted by: Deborah | October 19th, 2008 17:43
Sigh. Even your “simple and quick” cards are amazing. I didn’t realize at first that it was DSP, and was trying to figure out how you stamped the flowers!
Posted by: Jessica | October 21st, 2008 02:00
Beate, die Karte ist so wunderschön.
Posted by: Andrea R. | October 21st, 2008 15:31
