It’s Thursday and you know that means it is time for a Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge. This week is a fun sketch challenge!

COUNTRY BOUQUET
This is a slight variation of the card I used in my Valentine’s Buffet Class last week! It was a hit! It worked perfectly for today’s sketch challenge just by tweaking the measurements a little.

Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Thick Basic White cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- The 3-1/2 x 4-3/4 piece of Sweet Sorbet cardstock was embosssed with the Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder and added to the front.
- Two 3/8 x 3-1/2 strips of Mint Country Gingham DSP were added to the background.
- The Decorative Circle was punched from Basic White cardstock and stamped with the greeting from Country Bouquet Stamp Set. It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The Country Bouquet large heart was punched from Country Gingham DSP, the leaves from Mint Macaron cardstock and the small heart from Sweet Sorbet cardstock. All were added to the Decorative Circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- An Iridescent Rhinestone was added to the small heart for a little bling.

Simple, but it really says Valentine, doesn’t it? Go check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary
