Hmmm, another card without much stamping. I see a pattern here…really, though, I do LOVE to stamp! The Create with Connie and Mary Sketch Challenge this week just seem to scream "USE DESIGNER PAPER!" to me! lol! As for the unique sketch…you can blame Mary on that…she does our challenge templates…and I thought it looked simple when she first showed it to me. However, it challenged me…but I'm sure when I see YOUR cards, I'll say…why didn't I think of that? Can't wait to see!
So here is what I ended up with…
The base is Midnight Muse cardstock and I layered on Summer Starfruit…taking my colors from the Patio Party Designer Paper. On the Whisper White panel, I added the cupcakes strip of Designer Paper diagonally across the card. Then I added the Midnight Muse strip of cardstock. To hide the seam, I cut the Summer Starfruit cardstock with the Finishing Touches Edgelit! Isn't that fun looking? And it DOES add that finishing touch!
I stamped So Many Candles…from Bring on the Cake stamp set. Then I added a little pinwheel that I made from a 1" square punch and dark blue mini brad for the center! Isn't that CUTE!!! I thought it was a nice touch! lol!

Oh my!! This is SO cute!! I love the mini pinwheel!! Now why didn't I think of that? 🙂 Love the colors!!
Super fun! Love the punch of color with the patterned cupcake paper!
it's the tiny pinwheel that put this card over the top for me!
I just love that cute little tiny pinwheel! Awesome layers!
What a fun card! I love the little pinwheel – it's a perfect match for the DSP!
Thanks so much for inviting me to be part of your design team!
Just darling! Love the miniature pinwheel!
I love this card! The layers and pinwheel are awesome!
Connie, I love this card and all your inspirations. What a talent!
I have tried to use this Edgelit Finishing Touches but all the little pieces are stuck in my die. In the die itself! The next run I had a time punching those lacy pieces out of the cardstock.
Try as I might I can't get them out. How were you so successful?
Thanks!
Mary
