SSSC130.......Heartfelt Thanks


Good Morning Peeps!!!
It is Sunday which means it's time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.

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



My card is made with some sneak peeks of items in the upcoming Stampin Up Holiday Mini Catalog.

I am using and image from the new "Always Thankful" stamp set and the Designer Paper is from the new Spice Cake paper pack!! Love both of these!!

The base of the card is Soft Suede card stock and then the next is some of the DS paper and a strip of soft suede card stock that I embossed with the square lattice EF. I then used another piece od the DSP and some pool party card stock that I scalloped with the Scallop Square Bigz Die, that was actually a piece I had in my scrap pile!! This sketch was a bit tricky for me, but I like the end result!



I stamped the image with black stazon onto some very vanilla card stock. I then colored with my aqua painter and ink pads. I matted with more soft suede and added it to the base with some dimesionals. The sentiment is from the Fabulous  Phrases stamp set and then I punched out with the 1-1/4 inch circle punch and matted with the 1-3/8 inch cirle punch. I added a mini library clip and some matching brads.

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.

OK, let's see what the rest of the Sweet Sunday Sketch Team has in store for us this week:



Karen-Paper Playhouse- is taking a few weeks off

I doesn't look like you struggled at all! Do you miss not tying on a fantastic bow?
I'm looking forward to Spice Cake myself, beautiful wallpaper prints!
