"Boo" Rosette Card - CPS 5th Anniversary Day 2 Sketch Challenge

I finally got a chance to try out my new 2" Glubers and Crop-a-Dile today! Although Halloween is far away, I couldn't resist making a spooky card for the CPS 5th Anniversary Day 2 Sketch Challenge. The patterned cardstocks are both from the "Boo-ville" Collection from Little Yellow Bicycle. I also added some scalloped-edged purple cardstock stamp and embossed with polka dots. My sentiment is from the "Small Talk" clear stamp set from My Creative Time - love this stamp! The orange frame was punched using the Vintage Label punch from McGill. I then had to use a craft knife to cut out the "inside" to make it into a frame.

Here are the steps on making the rosette:
- First, I took a 2" Gluber and lined the entire circle with black tulle trim.
- Then I cut a 1" x 12" piece of green cardstock
- Score every 1/2 inch on the green cardstock using a scoring board
- Accordion fold the cardstock and punch a hole in the bottom part of the entire piece
- Take string and string through your punched holes tying it tightly together
- Make a rosette with the accordian and glue the beginning and end pieces together
- I then distressed the rosette with black ink and glued it to the black tulle
- Add an adorable embellishment like the sparkly spider I have on top

Bicycle Inspiration Card - CPS 5th Anniversary Day 1 Sketch Challenge

Another great sketch from CSP for the 5th Anniversary Celebration. This is the Day 1 Sketch. For this I decided to make a feminine inspirational card. I stamped the bicycle using brown ink and then embossed with clear powder. I love this stamp -- it is from the $1 collection at Jo-Ann Fabrics! I also added some words cut from the Junk Drawer collection by Cosmo Cricket and then stampled the sentiments on the blue pattern cardstock. Some simply ribbon from Grandma Hildie's collection was the final touch that made the card!
