Soft Sky pretty
Here is my sample for today’s sketch challenge. I had a bad migraene yesterday. It just didn’t want to go away, even with my pills. This morning I woke up with it again, but thank goodness, the pills are working now. So this card is made fairly quickly. Designing a card in 30 minutes is fast for me.
The card base is a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ piece of Soft Sky cardstock.
The 4 1/4″ x 4 1/2″ piec of designer paper is from the new Tea Time paper pack. I adore that paper!!!
I sanded the edges and paper pierced the top edge. Underneath that top layer I added a small scalloped strip of Shimmery White cardstock.
For the main image I stamped the birthday girl from She’s all That in Chocolate chip craft ink on a 2 1/4″ x 3 1/4″ piece of Shimmery White Cardstock and embossed her with clear embossing powder.
I layered the main image on a 1/4″ bigger piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock. and paper pierced the right hand corners.
Next I added three flowers with clear rhinestone brads from the Pretties kit around the image and adhered the Designer paper to the card base with dimensionals.
Last I tied Chocolate Chip Satin ribbon over the bottom edge of the designer paper.

This is such a soft, sweet card. I love those colors. Sorry about your migraine. I think I’ve been getting them lately, too. It’s about time for me to go to see a doctor as they’ve been so bad lately I’ve been unable to function.

I love it! I just received my set today. Can’t wait to ink it…….and isn’t it wonderful NOT to have to cut the stamps out. Wish they would do that with all their stamps. I may have to case this card if I may.

Ahhh, sweetie…I’m so sorry that you’ve had migraines. I’m glad to hear the medication is finally working and I’ll be praying that soon it will be completely gone.
Great job on the card and I’ll be playing with the sketch over the weekend…
Thanks, sweetie
Take care of yourself.

First time playing your sketch challenge, and I messed up a bit. My main image should be over a bit and I really don’t like those velvet flowers! I should have used something else! Oh well, it’s done and I hope you like it! TFL!

This is the first time I played along with your sketch challenge - have wanted to do this for awhile.
A touch of spring in this card - I hope.
