Out of my Box

The sketch this week from Unscripted Sketches:

The last post was titled Over the Top as it was the name of the Award, well this one is called Out of My Box because this card is way out of my box! Not my normal style of card but this is what happens when you: want to do the JUGS challenge (3D flower) by using the Practical Scrappers Challenge (fun punches) and my own challenge to only use scraps! I think of my grandma when I look at this card, story here, and if she were still here I would give this card to her. The card does look kinda like mishmash but it does look better IRL. Most supplies are from CTMH.
Pattern Paper: CTMH, MME
Cardstock: CTMH
Stamps: CTMH, Unity, Scarlet Lime
Ink: CTMH
Punches: Martha Stewart, EK Success,
Hemp: stash
buttons: PTI
