Thursday came mighty quick this week! I have a new card to share with you that I made for the sketch challenge from Create with Connie and Mary. A very fun challenge and just in time for my parent's anniversary. Here's the sketch for this week.
They are keeping us on our toes with these wonderful shape challenges! This week is a square card. I took mine a little further and made it into an easel card as well. I wanted a wow factor for my parent's. Take a look.
Here's the front of the card, now for a look at it with the easel.
I really love how this card turned out, very soft and romantic feel to it. My colors are Soft Sky and Baked Brown Sugar. The DPS is from Afternoon Picnic, a lovely and muted look. I made a larger focal point than the sketch. I used a doily with a layer of Soft Suede and then the flower stamped with Soft Sky on Whisper White. The ribbon is Pool Party seam binding and the greeting is from the hostess set Express Yourself.
I hope you will join the color challenge with me! Just go to
Create with Connie and Mary for all the details and more great samples.
