BC216 One Sketch - Two cards

Welcome and Happy Friday. Before I get started with today's BC Challenge I'd like to share this picture of Coleen taken on Monday at her Kindergarten Graduation (I know how cute is that!)
She was just adorable and I had to share. Later this week on my personal blog I'll have other photo's and a little video of her dancing at the graduation so hopefully you'll check it out.

Now on to the BC June Sketch Challenge. Today I have not 1 but 2 cards to share with you using this sketch.
Here is the sketch:

Here are my cards:
The first version is my "feminine" version of the sketch.
I bought the stamp during my friend, Teresa's visit a couple of weeks ago. It's from Hero Arts and I just love it. I just used a portion of the actual stamp for this card.
I love the way the DP looks after I embossed it with the embossing folder. Sort of made it look like material.
Here's a close up of the ladies:

Supplies: Stamps-Hero Arts
Card Stock-More Mustard-SU, Coordinations and Bazzill (I like to spread the love around with different companies)
Baker's Twine
Measuring Tape Ribbon-Offray
Buttons-A.Muse Studio
Copic Markers
Circle Nestie Dies

Now on to the "Masculine" version:

I had a hard time getting a decent photograph. I think it's just due to it being a (manly) card and we know how difficult men can be sometimes!
Here are a couple of closeups of the detail on this card.
This one is going to "Hubby" for Father's Day.
Supplies: Stamps - A.Muse Studio
Card Stock: Basic Black, Always Artichoke-SU
DP-Creative Imaginations
Brads-SU
Embossing Folder-SU
Ink: More Mustard-SU and Memento London Fog
Clear EP
Paper Distressing Tool

Now it's your turn to play along. Just link up below:


Have a wonderful weekend.

    Both cards are great with this sketch. Love the vintage stamp from Hero Arts, it looks great with that texture.

    Fab use of the sketch on both your cards! Love the Retro look to the sewing card - the embossing looks fab on the PP! Great FD card, love the added wrench and your stapled pieces. Cute picture of Colleen!

    Both cards are great. The first card's background really does look like cloth or needlepoint. I love how you used the staples in the border. It really fits with the tool theme.

    Love both of your cards! What a fun way to use one sketch and create gorgeous cards! Love the stamp you inked up on the first card!
    And what a great idea with the pleated paper and staples!
    You are very clever and very TALENTED crafter, Ida!

    Very cute cards! You made the sketch look so different on each. Love the sewing themed card lots, and your masculine card is great! Cute idea for the border with the stapled paper pieces. Coleen is such a sweetie! What a darling photo, and a cute little outfit she's wearing.
