Happy Friday!! :-) Today is the 100th Weekend Sketch Challenge! Thanks so much Beate, for providing us 100 weeks of sketch inspiration!! This past month I haven't been able to participate very much, burt I've been looking forward to getting back to a regular schedule (read - more stamping time :-) and participating again!
I thought that the circle element in Beate's sketch (you can see her sketch HERE) would be a perfect excuse to use one of these gorgeous Prima flowers! Not only does it fit the sketch, but how perfect is it paired with this "To Risk" Plain Jane stamp (from Verve Stamps)!?!?!! I chose this beautiful Graphic 45 paper for the background of my card, stitched around it, and then added some ribbon and pearls for embellishments. That's it! So easy!! But you know...I'm starting to love these easy cards more and more!! LOL!
You definitely won't want to miss playing along this week! All of the details (and the sketch) are over at Beate's blog. To see more samples using this sketch, check out what Beate, Cambria, Charmaine, Jenn, Lori, Mary Jo, & Sharon have created!
Thanks so much for stopping by! I'll be back in a little bit with my card for today's Taylored Expressions sneak peek! :-) ~Laurie
