Twisted Sketches Card #77

This week I had intended to make a very obvious autumn card. The plan called for a word like "autumn" or "blessing" or some other word that means it's my favorite time of year.  I gathered supplies and took a right turn somewhere along the process.  Although the card was not what I had planned, I am pleased with the way it came out as an any season card!

Check out this week's Twisted Sketches card sketch can be found here!  The twist is "plain"   I thought of a play on words and was going to get clever with a (air)plane or a plane used in woodworking but cleverness beyond the thought was beyond me this week.  So I stuck to "plain".  

I used Hero Arts layering paper in Latte for the card base.  I spritzed it with some Perfect Pearls  in Perfect Gold and water to give it a little simmer.  I tore a piece of handmade paper for the strip.  The sentiment is a Making Memories de-fined clear stickers.   I mounted the sticker on a scrap piece of velum envelope. . . the gummed part!  I added a bit of water to activate the stickiness and glued it to the hand made paper and ta da! no telltale glue under the velum!  The twine is from Ace Hardware and the "A" is a brad from my stash!




Hope my card has provided a bit of inspiration!  For more inspiration be sure to check out the Twisted Sketches blog and I hope you play along too!  If you do, be sure to link up your card to the Twisted Sketches blog!
