Hello! It’s Thursday and you know that means it is time for a Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge. I love this week’s sketch! I already have several more ideas that I want to try using it! But…first…I knew the Queen Anne’s Lace DSP in the Blackberry Beauty Designer Paper was going to be perfect for it.

QUIET MEADOW
The only stamping on here is the greeting. The rest is the gorgeous Blackberry Beauty DSP. I have to be honest…the DSP is SOOOO much prettier in person than the pictures in the catalog! When I first saw it, I wasn’t fond of the color combination at all, but I’ve completely changed my mind! And, most of the designs have a metallic shimmer to them.

Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Early Espresso cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- Three 1-1/4 x 4 strips of the Blackberry Beauty DSP were added to the background.
- The center Blackberry Beauty DSP piece is 3 x 5 and was adhered on top.
- The greeting from Quiet Meadow stamp set was stamped on Rich Razzleberry cardstock with Early Espresso Ink and cut with the Harvest Die.
- The greeting piece was added to a 1/4 x 2-1/2 strip of Gold Metallic Paper and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Some simply Elegant Trim was tied in a bow and added to the Queen’s Lace flower stem for a little bling.

I think I’ll be making up several of these as Sympathy cards! So quick and easy, but gorgeous! OK, go check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this sketch challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary!
