To You From Me

Today's card used the new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches and the color challenge at Dynamic Duos

The freedom to use any shape in the sketch allowed me to use my flowerburst embosslit and I love tempting turquoise so I was happy when I saw it was one of the colors in the dynamic duos challenge this week.  The card is simple but I am happy with how it turned out.... especially the added "bling" of the rhinestones for just the right amount of pizzazz! :)

Thanks for visiting today and happy crafting!

I love how this card came together... the flower and the colors... just love it!  Thank you Freshly Made Sketches  and Jennifer B from Ladybug Designs (click here to see her blog) for the inspiration today!

I cased the pleated ribbon flower from a video tutorial and several SU! demonstrator projects... LOVE how feminine and pretty it looks against the deep brown. :)  Happy.. happy!
