I made a promise to a friend, that I would do the sketch challenge on SCS no matter what. Today is a pretty busy day around here, I’ve got stamp club to prepare for, some sorority things to do and once again, DH is home sick. Now he’s been sick all week but has at least gone to work and come home early. Image my surprise this morning when I got up at the normal 6:00 and HE is still home – not going to work today. Well that just puts a cramp my day! THEN, Mallory, my 18 year old, informs me that this is a half-day of school! Think I might have to run some errands this afternoon!

Anyhoo, I did do the sketch challenge this morning and here’s the card. What a fun sketch and such a fun card to make. I’m sure I’ve got a few birthdays’ coming up – like Kate will be 21 on March 2, might have to put this card away so she won’t see it! I’m really liking the black and white with just a touch of color these days and wanted to try my hand one again. I cuttlebugged the background layers using the Bloom Dots embossing folder and then mounted them both on basic black cardstock. I used my square punches to make the triangle shapes and markers to color the little cow. Drew some doodles, set eyelets into the sentiment to run the ribbon through, mounted the sentiment and the middle image on dimensionals, we have a card!
