SSSC161.......To my friend

Happy Sunday Peeps!!

It is time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.
This is a special sketch challenge, this week is your chance to join the Sweet Sunday Sketch Team.

Karen is putting out a "Casting Call" to join the team.
 Here is all the deets:

Now onto this weeks sketch:

I am again using my new Stampin Up stamp called "Pleasant Poppies". I loved this set as soon as I laid my eyes on it and since getting it, I have not put it away.

Of course, we all think of red when we think of poppies and I did make a red card with red poppies on it, I will posting that one later this week, but I wasn't sure what other colors  poppies come in, I have seen orange and yellow but I was surprised when I did an internet search and saw so many colors, purple and blue was two I don't think I had seen. When I saw the pretty purple ones they reminded me of one of my favorite Stampin Up colors, rich razzleberry. 

The Poppy stamp is a large background type stamp but it is easy to mask off portions of the stamp and use just part of the stamp. The last two cards I used one side of the stamp so for this one I used the other part, a bit smaller but it worked well for this sketch.

The DSP I used is from the Stampin Up "Summer Smooches" and "Floral District" paper packs.

The sentiment comes from the "Friendly Phrases" stamp set. I added some basic pearls and some little butterflies made with the Beautiful Wings Embosslit die.

I hope you can find some time to play along with us this week, I would love to see what you come up with, create a card or scrapbook page with this sketch and then go to Karen's blog and link up your project for all of us to see.
