♥ sketchy stamping with oa ♥

Good morning.  Today is my day to post over at the OA Blog 
and today I shared a new card sketch.

OA Aug card sketch

I wanted to create a sketch that could be versatile for so many cards.  I chose to rotate my sketch 90* and cut my background paper into three blocks.

Hi there card danni reid

I decided to create my own pattern paper using the new Woodland Park background stamp set.  I stamped some cardstock and then cut it into pieces for my background piece.  I then decided to play with that cute bicycle sticker for my focal and thought-bubble sticker for my sentiment.


Hi there card danni reid details


I hope you will join me and create with the sketch, how fun.  Please post comments here on my blog so I can visit you and be inspired by your interpretation. 

hugs & so much love!

♥ just sharing ♥

some cards created with OA Woodland Park today.  i needed a couple of cards and wanted to play with some more of the gorgeous Woodland Park.


i have been playing with flat-mailable designs this week, specifically for sending the cards through the mail, while still having the "handmade pop"


may wonderful things card



  and here you can see how "flat and mailable" this card is

 

and here is another flat-mailable card

unforgettable moment in time card










and then i decided to "play" with the peacock stamp in the Woodland Park line.  i thought it would be fun to die-cut some "stamps" from the various patterned papers



 paper stamps card






 i chose to add buttons to this card because i was hand-delivering it but you could certainly leave as-is so it, too, would be flat/mailable.



i hope you have a beautiful, blessed day.

hugs & so much love!
