A quick post to share two cards inspired by this week's OWH sketch.
Card #1: A Birthday Card
This first card is pretty true to the sketch, following a 90 degree rotation.
 |
| Paper: My Mind's Eye, stash cardstock Sentiment from Whipper Snapper, heat embossed in Distress Ink Vintage Photo Techniques: Leisure Arts candle idea described in last post Tool: hole punch |
Card 2: An Any Hero card
I was a little more liberal in my interpretation of the sketch for this one.
 |
| Paper: We R Memory Keepers, BasicGrey kraft, miscellaneous cardstock Tools: ek success and the Paper Studio star punches; crimper, distresser, hole punch Embellishment: strands of jute |
Parting Thoughts
Hubby wasn't a huge fan of either card. They were both too busy for his taste. They are actually a little on the busy side for me, too -- just a little out of my normal comfort zone. But, I think they work.
Have a great week. Thanks for visiting and happy scrappin'!

Both cards are great. Creativity is all about moving outside our comfort zones - isn't it!!
Great job on both cards. I love how you made them your own.
The more you go out of your comfort zone, the better crafter you become. That's what I was told once anyway. I think both of these cards are just delightful.
I like both, but I really love your anyhero card. :) Those stars rock!
Both are very cheerful. I like the colors of the second one. I like the stars and twine.
I suspect anyone who receives them will love them! The first is very bright and cheery and I've never thought of rounding candles. Though I think you're right to flatten them in this case, that's a cool idea.
I ALWAYS have trouble with red, white, and blue paper packs, but the way you put the rectangle in the center of that flare really made it work.
They both look like great cards, and I love the star placement. What doesn't please you will surely please someone else, so don't be too critical of your work :)
I think they're both cute, Sybrina! I think that second one is a great use of that big pattern paper. Those are always a struggle for us cardmakers! Thanks for joining us in this week's Operation Write Home Sketch Challenge!
Sybrina, I think I am going to CASE your birthday candles. I would love the see your card made using the orginal sketch. I love your papers on both! tfs!!!
Fantastic cards Sybrina. I'm not a big fan of 'busy' either but I think you pulled it off beautifully. I especially like the second card with the twine and star accents. Nice job!
Hi Sybrina! I think your cards are great. The "smashed" candles look nice and dimensional and I think it is a technique I'll have to have a go with sometime. I really like your Any Hero card. The background panel has that nice star burst effect and I love the stars.
I quite like the Any Hero card!!
