First of all, Happy Thanksgiving Weekend to all my American followers! Wishing you a fabulous time with with family and friends! Eat some turkey and trimmings for me :)Love the sketch Keesh came up with this week. The basic layout allows you to dress it up or lean more toward the CAS side of things. The sky is the limit :)
I went for a more CAS look and pulled out some PTI dies to accomplish just that. I decided to go with this great MME Lime Twist polka dot paper (oh how I love my dots LOL!) which I got over at Paper and Such (Julie's low shipping fees are the best!). I paired it with my favorite PTI flower die and used Melon Mambo to make it pop. Was a fun card to make and I can definitely see myself using this sketch again :)
The rest of the Design Team has some fabulous cards for your inspiration.

This is lovely Marisa. The big sentiment on the main panel is fabulous, as is the dotty background, but that bright, fun flower is a real showstopper! :)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty Marisa! Love the bold and bright flower and the beautiful sentiment label! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI love the flower on this card. The layers are so attractive to me. When you pair it with this really pretty blue paper you have a dynamite combination!
ReplyDeleteThose big bold colors remind me of a certain mutual Irish friend and similar to all she does, you've totally rocked the challenge! Seriously perfect flower and bling =)
