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

For my card I started with the flower.  I stamped it and then I die cut it.  Then I used the decorative masks to blend color onto this flower.  Next I cut out a card base using Gina K's heavy base weight cardstock.  For the middle of the card I wanted some texture.  I chose the tiny crosses texture die.  I thought the little crosses complimented the shape of the flower petals.  So to do this I turned the texture plate 90 degrees so it would only add texture to the center of the card.  I wanted the top and bottom to be plain white.  Next I cut 2 strips of the gingham paper.  For the top strip I added a stitched scalloped border behind the gingham paper.  I adhered these two strips to the card base.  For the sentiment I stamped, heat embossed, die cut, and adhered it to the card base.  To finish the front I added some dimensionals to the flower and popped it up onto the card base, and then I added some gems to give it a little sparkle.  For the inside I made another gingham strip with a highland heather scalloped edge.  And I die cut the sentiment.  

Thanks so much for stopping by!!
