I like Mary Jo Price-Williams' sketch so much today that I created TWO! Today's sketch, shown at the bottom of the post, uses circles as the focal point of the design. In my versions, I used the same Designer Paper (SU Outlaw DSP, retired) and stamp set (SU True Friend) in both designs. I am amazed at how different these two cards look using the same materials!
The circles on the card on the right features Cracked Glass from the February 2007 issue of the Technique Junkie Newsletter. In addition, the sage background is double-stamped using the Vanilla Double technique from the October 2005 issue of the Newsletter. It is subtle in my scan, but it is there.
I apologize to you for the scans rather than pictures. I would have been able to catch more of the cracked glass had I been able to photograph them -- but it is gloomy here again and the low-light and flash were just not cutting it : )
The card on the left uses the Vanilla Double technique for the cocoa brown bottom portion. I think the technique shows up a bit better on the scan with the darker color.
Would you like to play along? Here is the sketch -- have fun!

I so wish we still had that paper! I love both your cards this week Pat. I am shocked at what a great job everyone has done -- I thought it was a bit of a difficult but fun sketch. I especially love your first one. I love the tab punch with the brads -- great idea. I too am amazed at how different they look using the same set and paper. Great comparison. Thanks so much for playing. Oh and I just noticed it is upside down! Brilliant.
Great cards Pat! I love the papers you used, those are some of my favorites!
I LOVE both of these card and finally bought the set. I anxiously await it's arrival this week. I have got to make that horse shoe card!!! It is one of those cards that is "manly yes, but girls like it too". Excellent job!
Your cards are beautiful Pat! I'm going to try out this sketch with one of the new techniques!
what a great idea to turn the sketch upside down? I tried my sideways, but didn't think of upside down.
love both the cards
Great cards, Pat. I was surprised to see the Outlaw paper go retired because everyone was using this delightful paper. The scan shows off the cracked glass quite nicely.
Great cards - I love those colors!
