Wednesday Sketch Challenge

Here is my card for the Wednesday Sketch Challenge over at SplitCoastStampers. I always look forward to this challenge and I'm SO happy when I actually have some time to play along with the rest of the gals on there. It's such a fun thing to do. And you all know how much I LOVE to try new sketches!!! I printed this one out and added it to my Sketch Challenge album!!! I have them all and I refer to them often!!

For this card I used the Stampin' Up! "Matchbox Messages" set. I found myself in need of a Thank You card too so this worked out perfectly!! I used a little piece of the Razzleberry Lemonade decorative paper. It had the Melon Mambo color in it, which was what I used to color in the flowers and the circles behind the stamped images. I used markers to color in the images. I did the outer ones first so there wouldn't be any chance of transfering the wording to the empty party of those circles. I added some brads and the Melon Mambo ribbon to the card to dress it up a bit. My brads came from the Earth Elements set, doesn't the color match pretty well?? I was impressed!!!

The white background was done using the new Stampin' Up! Textured Impressions "Final Press" embossing folder. It's SO pretty and I was glad I got the opportunity to use it!!! I am loving these folders SO much!!! I was thrilled that Stampin' Up! came out with two new ones!!!

Now to get the card in it's envelope and ready for the person it's intended for!!!

If you have the time, head on over to SplitCoastStampers and give the Sketch Challenge a try!! The are SO much fun!!

Thank you SO much for visiting today,
