Happy SUNDAY!!!! I joined a Sketch Challenge group and had a blast coming up with a card!!! This was challenging, but I loved it. Here's the sketch that I received via email:

Here's the card I came up with:

Stamps: Friendship Blooms
Ink: Blue Bayou; Versamark
Cardstock: Soft Sky; Not Quite Navy
Accessories: White Embossing Powder; Ticket Corner Punch; Dimensionals; Blue Bayou Designer Print paper; Rhinestone from Pretties Kit; White Brads (dipped in VersaMark & embossed with white embossing powder)

I stamped the flower with VersaMark on the Blue Bayou Designer Print paper and embossed it with white embossing powder and cut it out. I love stamping on our gorgeous designer paper!!!
