Kit Kraft Wednesday - Graphic x 2

I had a few challenges in mind when I sat down to create for Kit Kraft Wednesday, and foremost was to come up with something graphic for the StampNation challenge last week which was to design a card inspired by graphic or geometric design. 

I had two sketches that I was working with, both from Retrosketches.  One was an old one from several weeks back that I still wanted to try, and the other was this weeks' current sketch.  So, the current sketch looks something like this . . .

And yes, it was Kit Kraft Wednesday, so I had to use supplies from one of my monthly kits, and this was a brand new kit from Studio Calico.  It included some awesome paper, some cute dies, felt twine and a stamp set.  The stamp set was used to create the graphic background that was stamped on the white cardstock in colors to match the pattern papers.   

Going for a second graphic card, I used an old Retro Sketches (from several weeks back) and some old supplies from a Simon Says Stamp Card Kit.  No graphic stamps here, instead I went with graphic patterns on the paper (the graph paper and the chevrons), somewhat graphic wood veneers, and a graphic sketch layout.  

Using my supplies (and yet barely putting a dent in it).
