Hello Stampers!  I'm here to share a card I made using the sketch of the week over at Freshly Made Sketches.

I started with the oval.  I wanted it big enough to use the Sophisticated Sled in.  I found that the Waffle Flower ovals worked the best, so I die cut a plain white oval and a scalloped oval to mat it.  Then I die cut the sled and assembled it.  For the flourish part of the sketch I made a snowy hill.  To give this area some texture I tried out Gina K's Puffy Embossing Powder.  I like the snowy look it created.  Then I had to decide on the card base.  I started with a white card base, but I thought it looked kinda blah.  So I had out my Iconic Celebrations DSP and the plaid stood out to me.  I put it behind the oval, and I really like how it looked.  So I cut it down to have a 1/8" border for the Cherry Cobbler card base.  For the inside I stamped the sled in Basic Beige, and then used Cherry Cobbler ink to stamp the sentiment.  

That's all for now, thanks for stopping by!!

Hello stampers!  I'm here to share a card I made for the Featured Stamper Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.  Here is my inspiration card:

For my card I stamped, colored, and die cut my sunflower for the focal image.  Then I die cut the ovals to mat the focal image.  For the background I cut a piece of DSP, and added some twine.  I then adhered this piece to the card base, and then adhered the oval piece to the card base as well.  For the inside I adhered a strip of DSP, added a sunflower die cut, and stamped my sentiment.  

That's all for now, thanks for stopping by!
