Cardabilities Sketch Challenge and Reveal

Today is reveal day at the Cardabilities blog and we have another wonderful sketch by Karan Gerber to get you crafting for this week's challenge too, I hope you join us!

The Sketch
The Card


Admittedly, I got a just a tad carried away with this sketch because I ended up adding some extra elements to make the card work for me.  I started by selecting a piece of pattened paper from Cosmo Cricut Mini Deck "Up Cycle" and paired it with True Black cardstock from Papertrey Ink to make this unisex birthday card.  This was a chance for me to finally use some Maya Road Bingo Motif pieces that I've had in my stash for I don't know how long to add "flowers" to the leaves.  Also used to create this card were stamps and dies from Papertrey Ink, "Ad Sense" and "Turning a New Leaf" as well as their True Black Swiss Dots ribbon.  I used the Stampin Up Window Word punch for the small sentiment by the bow and the ink used was Memento "Tuxedo Black".

Really eye catching card, Beth! Love all the black, and love that polka dotted ribbon. And how stinkin' clever of you to use the bingo pieces as flowers. That is my most favorite part!
