Sketches

Welcome to the Krazy Crafting Crew's February Blog Hop!
This month we are working with Sketches and we have 2 hosts:  Lissa Marie and co-host Card Monkey's Paper Jungle.
  You should have arrived here from Lisa's blog at Handmade with Love - 
if not head to Lissa Marie's blog at So Many Crafts to make sure you don't miss anything.

We were given 2 sketches to chose to use for our creation which were provided by Lissa Marie.

I waffled back and forth about which to do: the 12 x 12 scrapbook layout or the card.  I chose ... the card sketch!

 
When I saw the sketch I initially was going to make my card "girly" and then I decided to challenge myself to make it more "masculine."

I made these cards using a brand new paper pack from Close to My Heart called "Later Sk8r".  It's an A2 size card with White cardstock as the base.  I cut the 2 strips at 1 1/2" x 5 1/4" and 2" x 5 1/4".  The white piece of cardstock was cut at 3"x 3 1/2".

I used our Artiste Cricut cartridge to cut the gears for the card:
Gears:  page 39, A9, Shift, Accent 3, < ( ) >  cut at 1", 1 1/2", and 2 3/4"
Gears:  page 39, A9, Accent 4, < ( ) > cut at 1 1/2"

I used our Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge to cut the circle and the banner where I stamped the sentiment with Lagoon ink:
Circle:  page 21, A1, < Circle1 > cut at 1 1/2"
Banner:  page 68, E8, < Banner1 > cut at 3"

I used Pear ink for the circle underneath one of the gears.  I randomly stamped the Lagoon colored gears with an image from our Perfect Fit - Frames 2 stamp set.  The sentiment "Happy Birthday" came from our Just a Number stamp set.
