A Turquoise Birthday

Today's share is the re-visited card that I had originally planed for yesterday.  I had made a card for my Sister-In-Law's birthday for the CCMC247 this week, BUT I ended up doing a new card.  I found a great reusable shopping bag that I wanted to use as a gift bag, but it did not match the card AT ALL!  I don't know about all of you, but I try to match my cards to the gift bags.  So, I ended up doing a new card similar to the original, but matching the bag.  Here's the pattern of the bag.




 






And here is the card I made to match the bag.







I matched the bag using Tempting Turquoise and Chocolate Chip cs.  I added in the Vintage Wallpaper EF on the base card to mimic the design on the bag.  I kept the basic layout of the card sketch from CCMC247 but did a regular size card instead of a square card.  










The dress form has a design from last year's SAB set Bliss stamped to mimic the bag also.  I added in a retired Tempting Turquoise gross grain ribbon for a belt and a pearl necklace.  The greeting from Wishes Your Way is stamped in Chocolate Chip on Whisper White cs and punched out with the Word Window.  The greeting was framed with Modern Label Punch in Chocolate Chip cs and pearls added to the sides.  


I am quite pleased as the card ended up matching the bag perfectly and everyone at the birthday party noticed!! Mission accomplished!


Thanks for stopping by today!  Tomorrow is Monday so come back and check out the new Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge.  See you then!
