Sweet Sunday.......Thank You



Happy Sunday Peeps!!

It is Sweet Sunday Sketch Day 

Here is the sweet sketch Karen has for us this week:


I did feel a bit challenged with this sketch and you can see that the small circle element in the sketch is almost all covered with my flower and leaves but you can still see the edge of  it, and it is there I promise!

I started my card with a 5 x 5 square base of Pool Party card stock.  I then followed that with a layer of Early Espresso card stock and then all of the DSP on here is from the Stampin Up "Sweet Sorbet" paper pack.


I used the Peaceful Petals stamp set and stamped two of the flowers onto some PTI white card stock and colored with my aqua painter and ink pads I used, Crisp Cantaloupe, Strawberry Slush and Crushed Curry for the flowers. I also stamped some leaves and colored them with Pistachio Pudding ink. I die cut a doily using pool party and then added a white die cut circle over that. 
I cut another piece of white to go across the bottom for my sentiment and then matted that with some Early Espresso card stock. The sentiment is from the Four You stamp set. I mounted this strip across the bottom with some foam tape. I then cut out the leaves and flowers and added them to the circle element tucking them behind  and over the sentiment strip.
I finished off with a few candy dots on the sentiment piece and the center square.

This little card will be going to a co-worker who surprised me with a little gift this week. Made my day and it is nice to be appreciated. 

Now let's see what the rest of the girls did with this fun little sketch:


Thanks for stopping by today
