You are stuck with me for the next week, as Margaret has company arriving tonight. Hope I don't disappoint!
Tonight's card is a friendship card. I have a friend that was diagnosed with breast cancer last week. I hope to send a card to her at least twice a month, as well as participate in her Meal Train.
I used a Cheery Lynn die for the circle aspect of the sketch, which comes from The Sweet Stop. I forgot to use the wax paper, so I spent quite a while picking out all the little pieces (while watching an episode of Mad Men I had taped, which made it less of a task!). DP comes from Queen Bee, cs from DCWV. MFT flower dies were used, with an extra large rhinestone in the center. The Inky Antics sentiment is stamped with Soft Suede from SU!
I am also entering the following challenges:
Nutcrafters - mostly monochrome
Lexi's Creations - Focus on the sentiment
The Sisterhood of Crafters - Say it Loud
Word Art Wednesday - Anything goes
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Wow! This is absolutely beautiful! I really like that die (don't you hate it when you forget the wax paper? ugh!). Your colors are quite soothing and your friend is sure to find it encouraging. I just prayed for her -- I hope her treatment goes well. Thanks for joining us at Word Art Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteSweet card & lovely design paper love how the those circle dies really pop.

I love the Cheery Lynn die. Beautiful creation! Thanks for sharing on The Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge.
ReplyDeleteThis is a stunning card--I want that die! I really love the patterned paper behind it with the flower on top. Very beautiful. The sentiment works perfectly in this design.
ReplyDeleteOh my, I hate it when I forget the waxed paper. It definitely becomes a work of love. I like your circular motif. TFS!
