A Tag From A Sketch

I would never have thought to do this, but I have learned something this week.  From now on, I will not turn up my nose at a sketch, but will turn it and look at it from every angle!  I will also not just toss a sketch because it isn't going to work for a card.  I can use it on a tag or a box or some other project.  Look, I made a tag for the Go-to-Sketches challenge on the Moxie Fab World :)  You could play along too, it's really easy!  I did a couple fun things with this card.  I paper pieced the hippo, the birdie and the party hat.  Then I stamped my stitched ribbon again and again until it looked like grass to me! 

Here is the fabulous sketch that I used by Kim Kesti.  I would love to meet this lady in person.  I think she would be a hoot!  Her stamping style is so much fun.  You really ought to cruise by her blog and take a peek. 

Thanks for stopping by!
