Cards in Envy Challenge #2

Time for another Cards In Envy challenge. Remember, sketch on the first Monday and challenge on the third. This time we were to use paper strips as ribbon. This is a great way to keep the bulk down on OWH cards. I used the Stampin Up Serene Silhouette image here and a nice purple color I don't play with often. Since it wasn't over the 1/4 of an inch rule we have at Cards In Envy, I added a second paper strip that I used a border punch on. Hope you find the time to play in the challenge and send that card on to Operation Write Home

Repurposing a punch

This oval punch set form Stampin up is usually used horizontally with a sentiment. I

love how they fit nice and even and give such a polished look to a card. Well, on Pinterest (you know...my new obsession) I saw a card very similar to this - and I love it!! So cool to let that punch work in another way. Pocket Silhouettes fit just right. Four of these for OWH came together quickly.
