I just found out last week that my friend Karolyn is posting a challenge every Thursday on her blog, a Twisted Thursday sketch challenge, and this card is for S2GSC5. I find sketch challenges the easiest, probably because its like following a recipe, the layout is all there, you just have to fill in the pieces! :) Its a sketch challenge with a twist and in this case the twist was to add some embossing. I used the SU background stamp Dots and Daisies and embossed it in white on the apricot, then used light colored copic markers to color in the daisies. I like how well the flowers in all three stamp sets coordinate when they were released at different time. The little bitty flowers are fom a stamp in the Pocket Full of Posies set, I colored them in and then cut them out individually. YOu need very, very sharp little scissors for that! The vellum kind of reminds me of a raincoat lining and of course, you need a button to keep the coat closed. Fun sketch, now I just need to find a good source for inexpensive large square envelopes and I can mail this to someone! Thanks so much for visiting.

What a cool card layout! I love the colors you chose as well. They are not ones I traditionally grab for, which makes me really question my ability!! This is just beautiful!

Now THAT'S what I'm talkin' about!! And all those layers - you've clearly gotten my "layer sickness!!" The colors are so fun and happy - loving everything about this. But mostly, I am just so happy and grateful that you played along in my fun little sketch challenge. You ROCK, my friend. Thank you so much for playing! By the way, I know you don't the White Sox, but watch them occasionally as our friends' son, Brent Lillibridge made the team, so watch him! He's an amazing kid! Hugs to you, sweet girl!!
