Once again I used a sketch for my jumping off point. This time it is a Mojo Monday sketch. I usually love their sketches, but have a hard time finishing them in time. Thankfully they do stay open forever and some day I just might get to all the ones I have printed off. :)
I pulled out my much loved and yet often neglected Top Note Die for this challenge instead of using a circle. I REALLY like how it turned out.
The sentiment here is lovely. I decorated it simply by coloring in the heart with a blender pen and Raspberry Ripple ink, then added some small pearls. Once the card was complete I added some Dazzling Details Glitter glue to the heart so it could sparkle. I think it would look good with Crystal Effects too.
My second variation on the sketch was to add some linen thread to the banner. For some reason I really like thread, twine, or ribbon on my banners. I curled the end a bit to give it some more dimension.
Like I said, not your typical fall colors, but the Harvest Orchard DSP does give it an Autumn feel. Now I have a thank you card to send to the next person who places a Stampin' UP order with me. :)
Creative Blessings,
Heather North

This is such a lovely interpretation of the sketch. I do like the twine wrapped around the banner - I hope I think to use that idea some time soon.
I love the colors you have chosen for this layout challenge!
THis is awesome! I like a lot of the Mojo Monday sketches too but I get a bit scared off by them. My skill level on sketch challenges is "Basic"! I love that sentiment & just everything on this card.
I love your take on the MOJO sketch!! Fabulous colors and shapes in your lovely design!!
