Update
Now for Today's Non-Sketch Sketch Card
Okay, I felt so bad about yesterday's card, I started a second card for this sketch last night. Think the card below is a little closer to the sketch. :)

Now for Today's Non-Sketch Sketch Card
I really feel like I owe Marlene and Jen an apology for this card. I truly had the best of intentions... and started with the sketch in mind. Then, the card below took on a life of its own.
Sorry about that, ladies. But, I guess it's still an okay Any Hero card. Our hero won't know that it really doesn't look like Sketch #207. :)

Parting Thoughts
Have a great week! Certainly hope the weather's less severe than it was last week. The sun's actually shining right now!
Thanks for stopping and happy scrappin'!
Hahaha oh so true-- no one is gonna know this isn't exactly 207 :) Turned out awesome though!
ReplyDeleteHey a hero will love it no matter which sketch it came from. I think it is a beautiful card. Enjoy your week.
ReplyDeleteThe same thing happens to me all the time! LOL You still ended up with a great card for one of our heroes, so you'll hear no complaining from me! Love those stars!
ReplyDeleteEvery sketch I attempt to use always takes on another look when I am finished. It is all in the interpretation and sketches are a starting point. Great job.
ReplyDeleteGreat card...particularly the offset of the stars. Wonderful papers. tfs!!!
ReplyDeleteYou should not have felt back about yesterday's card. Now you have two fantastic cards to send in. You Go Girl! Enjoy the week.
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are terrific! I think yesterday's card shows true inspiration from the sketch. Today's card follows more to form, but they are BOTH most excellent! (p.s. Love that Authentique Pride paper.)
ReplyDeleteLOL-- there should be no apologies in card making-- a sketch is a place for inspiration- you did a great job on both cards!!! I like when cardmakers take detours!
ReplyDeleteGreat redo, although the first was great too! Love your hero card commitment, great choice of papers!
ReplyDeleteOh Sybrina, you silly girl... no apology needed. Two great cards and both benefit Heroes. Yesterday's take on the sketch was great, and Any Hero will love to get it. That's what counts! I love the placement of the stars on the updated card. They add so much whimsy to the card. Thanks for playing... twice! LOL
ReplyDeleteLOL, no apology needed! Did you see that my sketch WAS an oops card? :) It's all meant to inspire! Great job!
ReplyDeleteBoth of the cards look perfect! I sometimes look at a sketch as a starting point and go from there.
