Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter celebration with family, friends, and loved ones. Hubby and I attended church services with my father-in-law. Then the three of us met my dad for an early dinner.
So, I only have two cards to share.
OWH Sketch #116
This week's sketch and SignifyPink's lovely paper inspired the Any Hero card below. (I was so happy when my LSS got in more of this gorgeous paper!)

This week, I was pretty true to the sketch -- but decided to go off-center with the circle since the heat-embossed stars are asymmetrical.
Before and After
Remember the My Dad, My Hero card I wasn't happy with. Well, I did a little tweaking and am much happier with the new version.

Lee Mae suggested adding a gold border around the text to add a little panache to the sentiment part of the card. Great idea! Thanks, Lee Mae!
I also decided to change the sentiment itself so that it consisted of an odd number of words and two different fonts.
What a difference! Now that I have the design down, I have the parts to assemble nine more of these. :)
Parting Thoughts
Looking forward to an all-day crop on Saturday with a friend. Hoping to make a serious dent in the OWH Muscle Card challenge. It'll be a busy week with work, preparing for my friend's overnight visit, and preparing for the crop. So much to do and only one week to do it!
Hope everyone has a good week. Happy scrappin' to all!

Great muscle cards! Thanks for sharing. PS I like you font redo!
You're so lucky to have friends to crop with! Great group of cards!
Great cards, Sybrina! I love all the layers on your sketch card. Thanks for joining us in this week's OWH Stars & Stamps Sketch Challenge!
I like the embossed stars and the circle off center on the first one a lot. Also, that's a real improvement on the second card. Not that the first isn't good, but the second version is really great!
I like how you offset the circle - great card - thanks for supporting OWH - hope you get everything done so you can enjoy your crop

Sybrina, I like how you embossed the stars and offset the circle. I like the handsome paper too. Wow -- just that little change made such a difference on your second card. Have fun at your crop on Saturday.
