Finally getting to this month's Sketch For You To Try. Always reminds me how quickly the month goes by!
I used this week's sketch to make a birthday card for my mom. I combined it with this week's Shabby Tea Room inspiration picture as I just love pink and green together and this K & Company paper by Brenda Walton is a perfect fit.I had to roll around in all the Andrea Ewen Diva Dust I could find in order to get the where-with-all to make this card. She is the queen of floral/shabby cards and though this doesn't come close to her gorgeous creations, it is a big stretch for me and I fairly happy with the outcome. Hopefully my mom will be happy with it as well LOL!
Thanks for dropping by and have a fabulous weekend!
