Get Sketchy #58


This week's sketch at Get Sketchy was a tough one.  I struggle with circle cards, and this was no exception.  It was going in a completely different direction before I decided to step back and take a break.  I'm glad I did, because I like this one a lot better now than when I first began.

Here's my take on the sketch:

That's some more striped patterned paper that I love and have no idea where it came from.  Digging through my paper scraps is sometimes like digging for treasure.  A lot of fussy-cutting, heat embossing and sewing on this card made for a long morning, but I'm excited about how it turned out.
Thanks for looking!


Supplies:
Stamps:Turning a New Leaf and Falling Leaves (Papertrey Ink),  Hero Arts: Happy Thanksgiving
Paper: Stampers Select, Orange Zest, Simply Chartreuse, Spring Moss (Papertrey Ink)
Ink: Orangerie (PTI) , Versamark
Other: Rhinestones, Clear Embossing, orange thread, fabulous unknown patterned paper

You did such a great job cutting out all those leaves! I am stumped with this sketch....I don't do well with circle cards either. :)
