365 Cards Super Sketchy Sunday!


This is the final result of all my struggles yesterday. I think the problem was that I was trying to be clever and combine challenges. I couldn't find the colours and papers I fancied with the sketch. So... I gave up and just did this! In the end I'm quite pleased with it. Thanks Sherry for the encouragement!
This is a tri-fold card. I made a 'button' from card which I punched 2 ribbon slits in, mounted it then cut two more slits through the card itself. I used the pretty, organza ribbon to fasten the card together. It took me a while to work out how to thread it so that it tied properly, but I got there in the end.
