Graphicat Sketches #25

Good afternoon!  It's time for another Graphicat Sketches challenge!  Cheri has created another fabulous layout for us to follow!  I love fishtail flags so this was a fun one for me!  I decided to work with Hockey from Kenny K to make a birthday card for a co-worker of mine.  He is paired with the Graphicat Designs "Lace Em Up" sentiment.  Hockey is colored with Copics and cut using the Small Labels Nestabilities from Spellbinder.  I also used the Classic Ovals die to cut out the sentiment.  A Stampin' Up background stamp called Sanded gives the image panel some texture and interest.  The designer paper is Hat Trick by Karen Foster Design.  I used my star Cuttlebug embossing folder on the fishtail flags which were cut using the My Favorite Things Fishtail Flags Stax Die-namics.  I find it challenging to embellish masculine cards so I just added a couple of metal swirls from Making Memories that have been kicking around in my stash forever.

I hope you'll pop over to the Graphicat Sketches blog to see what the rest of the Crafty Catz have created to inspire you!  You have two weeks to play along (the challenge ends May 13th).  

I'm hoping the week flies by!  My crafting agenda is pretty full as I have lots on my To Do list at the moment!  So you may be seeing something else from me this week...  I hope you have a fantastic week and thanks for checking in!
