This week, Lisa challenged us with a sketch for Bloggers' Challenge. Of course, you know I can't resist a sketch challenge!
I knew I wanted to use the new XL Flower Punch for my focal piece. I punched it twice from So Saffron, added some Close to Cocoa Classic Ink around the edges, crumpled it up and then layered them together with a large Corduroy Button in the center. I punched the leaves from the new Bird Punch three times from Old Olive.
The yummy paper is the Sweet Pea Designer Paper (I LOVE it!). I used the Old Olive polka dots in the background, then a slice of the brown stripe in the front, layered on So Saffron. The base of the card is Confetti White cardstock. I added a Chocolate Cihp Jumbo Brad at the top and bottom and the words "Easter Blessings" from Stampin' Up!'s Abundant Hope Stamp Set.
Pretty easy card to put together with the Sketch figured out already! Photographing it actually took longer!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend. Come back tomorrow for the Tour de Freaks Blog Tour AND the Create with Connie and Julie Challenge! Busy day!
