Third Time is a Charm with Motivet!

At least that is my hope.  Motivet's sketch challenges have two opportunities for winning.  The first winner is selected by one of two owners based on their own preference and the second is random.  Motivet has it covered from all angles.  This week I'm excited about my card as everything just seemed to flow fairly smoothly.  Oh sure, I did the normal...buttons?  nah... bow?  nah...  I tend to examine several options before choosing papers and embellishments.  Although the sketch called for a sentiment, I just did not have anything in my collection that seemed right for the job.  I have a new Dymo labeller that will do the trick nicely once I invest in a couple different label colours.  The sentiment will be simply Happy.  How can one not stop and smile at the two kids racing down the hill on the sled?


The texture and dimension on this card is amazing.  The ribbon is actually velour - super soft.  The flowers were purchased from Michael and have just been snipped or pulled off the stem.  The center of the small white flowers are actually Basic Grey's painted brads which match their paper line Eskimo Kisses.  The challenge this week at Everybody Art Challenge is stitching.

Shana, what a great card. I've seen this image before, but wasn't thrilled by it. Your mounting it and cutting it on an angle like that just makes it look so much more appealing! I may have to snag that one now! Great job.
