Technostamper's Sketch Challenge #22

Whew - has it really been 2 weeks since I've played along? Time really goes by faster and faster... But I decided I needed to make time to get back into the swing of participating in the Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenges - they really are lots of fun! Thanks Mary Jo for keeping us inspired. This week's layout is a pretty easy one to duplicate:

For my card, I've used a trading card sized Thank You Card as the main image...All I had to do is remove the "Thank You" oval from the trading card, add the ribbon and then the other layers/card behind it... and DONE! Most of the times you wouldn't even need to remove anything, but I wanted to stay true to the sketch...

Supplies Stamps: Boho Backgrounds, Fresh Cut (Greeting) Paper: Blue Bayou, Chocolate Chip, Certainly Celery, Soft Sky, Whisper White, Afternoon Tea DSP Ink: Chocolate Chip, VersaMark, Blue Bayou Accessories: Ribbons, Dimensionals Tools: Scallop Circle Punch, Large Oval and Word Window Punch, Ticket Corner Punch, 1/4 inch circle Punch

I did this so my customers could see what to do with all those little cards they get from me. With each order they get a hand stamped Trading Card from me. My idea behind this little card is this... They can very easy take one of those and make it into a "real" card when one is needed. Even though I hear from my customers they collect my little cards, and I am very honored... I do hope I've inspired a few with this post and showed how quick and easy a little trading card could become a greeting card...

Don't forget to go over to Mary Jo's website around lunch time, to see who else is playing along this week...
