Are You Ready for a New Weekend Sketch Challenge?

Good morning, everyone! Another week has flown by and it's time for a new Weekend Sketch Challenge on Inspiration in Action! I'm trying something new this week. I'm only going to  show you one of my sample cards today but will be posting more throughout the weekend! I do hope you'll play along this week -- I love seeing your projects and reading your comments!

And now, for my first sample of the weekend I turned the sketch on it's side and came up with this almost vintage Christmas card using the new Berry Christmas Stamp Set and Christmas Cocoa Specialty Designer Series Paper. The colors are Real Red, Soft Suede and Whisper White. I used 1/4" Real Red Grosgrain Ribbon, Vintage Brads (Antique Brass) and the Ticket Corner Punch. The little bird is cut with the Big Shot and the Stampin' Up! Merry Details Sizzlet Die (don't you love how it coordinates with the Stamp set -- see the inside of the card for the stamped image). I also used the Scallop Border Punch and Stampin' Dimensionals. And yes, of course I stamped on the inside of the card.

Well, I think that will do it for today. Be sure and visit again throughout the weekend to see what other samples I've created using today's sketch!

And don't forget to stop back and  post your own creations using the Mister Linky Widget below. Just leave your name and the actual URL address where we can find your card. We're waiting to see what you create with this week's Inspiration in Action Sketch!

Gretchen... love the sketch - and the inspiration card. I think Im going to have to spend some time in my stampin space today to play along... and... I swear I can hear Dasher calling my name for this sketch. Will someone please do an intervention - I'm a Dasher addict.
