Here is my card for today's hop,

I did this card for the Cinema Saturday Challenge #98 - The inspiration movie is Dead Poet's Society. This is one of my favorite movies and I had to play along with it. I loved one of the scenes in the movie where Robin Williams who is the professor tells the students to rip out a page from a book as it does not really tell them how to understand a poem. So, I kind of ripped the patterned paper on this card. Also I used some text script and music notes paper from October Afternoon to kind of represent the school, poems etc. This sentiment from {ippity} Where You Should Be set was perfect for this card. The CSC Challenge was also to use felt on the card. I cut up some brown felt using the PTI Ric Rac Die and add that to the card as well.

I used Unscripted Sketch #76 for this card.

Supplies:
Stamp - {ippity} Where you should be
Paper - PTI Kraft and White CS, October Afternoon Patterned Paper
Ink - Memento Black, Memento Rich Cocoa, PTI Chai Inking Cube
Other - Colorbok Brads, PTI Ric Rac Die, PTI Dark Chocolate Felt

Unscripted Sketch #63 and Guest Designer

I was quite excited when I was chosen to be the Guest Designer for Unscripted Sketches. Please visit Unscripted sketches to play along with the sketch.

Here is my card,



As soon as I got the sketch from Sarah, I knew I wanted to use the Big and Bold Wishes set from PTI. The panel was perfectly made to hold a sentiment. :) I used a combination of red and black on my card inspired by the BG Patterned Paper. I used some Pearl Smooch Ink and accented the black mat for the sentiment. I also put some smooch ink on the butterflies. I had fun creating this card. Hoping to see some of you create something with the sketch.

I really loved the latest sketch #58 from Unscripted Sketches. It offered many possibilities. I created what I call a recycled card. I used my scrap patterned papers for this card. :)

Here is my card using the {ippity} stamp set The Simple Things.



I used Ranger DI Old Paper and sponged over the leafy patterned paper just to give it a bit of aged look. The image itself was stamped in Memento black to give some added effect to the card.
