It’s Sunday today, so that means a new OWH sketch. I can’t believe it’s up to #175 already! Here’s the card sketch.

I’m currently working on My Mind’s Eye – Cowboy 6×6. I like it, but the colors are so soft that I feel the need to layer my cards with black for some contrast. I usually use much bolder colors. I think this card came together nicely using the black layers.

  • Your card is a great take on the sketch! I love making those squares with rounded corners, and I like how you placed the sentiment at the bottom! NJ!

  • Gorgeous! I love how you did the squares with the rounded corners… and yes, the black matting really makes the whole thing more interesting!

  • Love that you rounded the corners- makes it like a totally different card! Another way to use the sketch- thanks for inspiring me!

  • The subtle colors in this card are perfect. The layering of the focal image really makes it pop. Nice job!

  • I think the card came out with lot interest in the pattern paper, the way you cut your squares and layering. Nice job!

  • Very cute card. I love the artistic way you used the corner rounder to create new shapes.

  • Excellent, and agree, the darker colors really make the card here! That is a very soft-palette in that pad. Great take on the sketch. Thanks for sharing! Tamara

  • That is such a pretty card! Like the others, I like the little bit below the horizontal strip and how cool was that to round opposite corners to make a great new shape?! I'm putting this in my inspiration file!

  • Layering in black was a great touch, and just seems to add class to the card. All the extra details you put into the card really make it great.

  • Beautiful card! I, too, am a bold color person, but I think this is so calming and elegant! :)Traci

  • Love this… The rounded corners are such a cool design. Won't this one be great for using up those inch scraps 🙂 I love your take on this sketch!!
