Crazy For a CPS Sketch
I loved this Card Patterns sketch and decided to combine it with this week's Crazy 4 Challenges colours because I just love brown and green with cream together :)
This Echo Park Halloween DP that I got on clearance is coming in very handy! The flip side is very Halloweeny but this side is simply yummy and perfect for this challenge!
The natural colour palette made me immediately think of my PTI Turning A New Leaf set (love this set!) so out it came and off I went.
I stamped the large leaf image in Garden Green on cream card stock, over stamped it with French Script in Chocolate Chip and cut it out. Wasn't in a circle mood so swapped it out for an oval instead and added a few flowers, butterflies and half pearls for a little zip to the focal panel. Don't have and brown baker's twine (it's on my shopping list for my next LSS trip) so had to go with some hemp twine instead, and I think it worked out just fine.
Have a fabulous day and hope it includes a little stamping time :)
