Perpetual Stew

This week at Get Sketchy we are using sketch #68 as our inspiration.  I love this sketch for a few different reasons.  1. It's a great sketch for flipping and turning etc. 2. It's a great sketch for anyone just starting out using sketches.    This week I made 2 different cards using this sketch.   

Here are my takes on the sketch..

Products used:

Kaiser Crafts pattern paper

Kraft cardstock

Vintage lace

Gift tag

flower

Pearl

On my second one I turned it into a gift card holder to hang on my Christmas Tree.  I just love the home made feel of these and they look great hanging from the tree.   Keep on reading for step by step instructions on how to make these.  These are so easy to make that you will find yourself making several...
