What's black and white and red all over?

365 Cards #27
      Unfortunately, I'm note sure kids these days even know or understand the traditional answer to my title. But today's answer is actually two sketch cards I did.  I used the same image ( a free digi from The Alley Way Stamps website) and the same papers, but they definitely are not the same card.  You'll notice I did a little doodling on the coffee cup image.
Retro Sketch 48
     The first card uses this week's sketch from 365 Cards, challenge #27. This is a vertical card. The white background is embossed in the swiss dot folder, to emphasize all the dots going on. I added dots to the image and used dotted organza ribbon as a little tab.
     The second card, the horizontal one, uses Retro Sketch challenge #48. The doodling on this is a little different -- I was going to doodle squiggles for the three little strips, but this patterned paper really matches the image and worked too perfectly. I used the organza ribbon again, this time tied onto a heart-shaped clip. There is piercing all around the edge of the red panel. The sentiment is straight off the computer printer.

Stencils and diecuts

  I've had the idea for this card for a while, but I finally got around to making it this week.  I started by stenciling the stone fence...
