 Now on with the projects:


Challenge is to create a card using the Sketch Challenge.

 So when I first starting looking at this one with I instantly thought of One of my favorite stamp sets that have a coordinating die cut..  Happy Birthday was my first choice, however could also be used for a wedding or anniversary card as well.  

A closer look to see detail of flowers.  I used a blender pen with a little saddle color to add highlights to the flower.  Love the shimmer pens gold and clear to add extra shine to the flowers.  Added a little Bling for fun!! Cocoa base, a layer of Saddle and topped with Cashmere.  Love these color combinations.  Stamped the Sentiment in Cocoa. 


 This set comes with the Stamps shown below and also the Die cuts that are outlined in Blue.  Visit my Website if you would like to purchase this awesome set.

Each season represents a fresh start and fall is usually the time of year when scrapbookers and stampers come back inside and start up their papercrafting again!  If that's you, here are some tips on how to prepare to begin again! 1.  Keep your crafting area clean!
