Here is my card for this week's sketch from Operation Write Home. I used four tickets from a raffle (that I didn't win), embossed woodgrain cardstock, linen thread and three wood buttons to form the base of this card. I distressed all the items with chocolate chip ink. The plane is from the Sentimental Journey set from Stampin' Up!
That's cool! I really like those wooden buttons!
ReplyDeletewow-- love that you repurposed the raffle tickets! Fabulous card!
ReplyDeleteLove the tickets! I also like the name of your blog! Are you a Virginia tech hokie?
ReplyDeleteUnique re-purposing of those raffle tickets. Great job!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea! To think we throw so many of those away and buy stamp sets to make them:)Plus your card looks great.
ReplyDeleteThe wood grain on your horizontal piece is a great detail!
ReplyDeleteThis is great with all those tickets, and the woodgrain panel really adds some punch too! Great card!
ReplyDeleteThose bright red tickets really make the plane tand out. Love the wood buttons too!
ReplyDeleteGreat embossing and excellent repurpose of the tickets! they really pop on this card, give it a flair against the neutral /natural colors. Thanks for sharing! Tamara
ReplyDeleteSeconding the others about the clever repurposing and how the red pops the plane. Also, those buttons so fit the vintage look!
ReplyDeleteVERY cool vintage card! I'm going to start saving my own ticket stubs and stuff like that, thanks to your great idea!
ReplyDeleteThose tickets really pop on this card and give it great flair! The woodgrain paper and wooden buttons give it a great masculine feel. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGreat focal point, love the wood grain texture, really evokes a multi-media feel! Love it!
ReplyDeleteHey! I love this take on the sketch! I was weeding out my embellishment stash this weekend. I found several "saved" tickets like that. Hmm, I'm glad that I didn't toss them now. "They must be good for something!" ... I thought... And here it is. :)
ReplyDeleteI totally love this...may be CASEing it. Esp love the recycling aspect. I have some items I am saving that could be used in the sketch! Thanks in bunches!
ReplyDeleteWow! Amazing take on the sketch! Love that you repurposed the tickets.
