2014 First Sketch of the Year

Good morning everyone!  Oh my, what a delight and an honor to have one of my cards chosen for Operation Write Home's Sketch of the Week, the first for 2014!  I've learned so much from OWH card makers this last year, I feel my cards have a little touch of each one of you, thank you!

I really love this sketch, so versatile, not only in paper but in shapes too.  I'm big on letting sentiments and the paper do the talking.  A little dry embossing doesn't hurt either.  At any rate, I got so excited that I made a couple more versions to show the versatility of this sketch, hope it gets your mojo going too!   P.S.  If you use a stripe in your challenge, jump on over to the monthly Our Daily Bread Designs challenge and link up your creation there too!

    Great sketch and congrats for being picked! I like how you used the hexagons to show how other shapes can be used. Love all those blues.

    Cheryl, loved your card when is was picked for a sketch. However, I'm blown away by the blue hexagon! The browns in the other card make a great masculine card. Girl, you have outdone yourself. Thanks for playing!
