I am just looking back on my last few posts and it looks like I am stuck on a color scheme. I promise for the next post I will change colors! When I started working on the layout on the background, it seemed so busy. That is why I chose the simple salutation for the stamped image. It seems to balance the card. The background looked so much like a quilt, I decided to pit buttons on for the embellishments. I wanted to keep that handmade feel. All in all, I feel good about this sketch challenge. I used the Cottage Wall DSP again. Just really love the colors and design of the paper! The supplies used for this card are:
STAMP SET: All Holidays
PAPER: Rich Razzleberry, Orchid Opulence, Old Olive, Whisper White, Cottage Wall DSP
INK: Rich Razzleberry
ACCESSORIES: Sherbert Buttons, Linen Thread
I am keeping this post short because I have to get my supplies together to go stamping this afternoon with my friends I used to work with. It is so relaxing to get together with them. Soon they will be back at school and I will be left at home stamping by myself again. But for now I am just enjoying their company again. Have a great rest of the day!
Gail this card is so pretty..I don't think the background looks busy at all, it fits perfectly...exactly like a quilt. I love all the different papers you used, the buttons and the sentiment are all just perfect. I think we all get into a color scheme rutt now and then...but I do like this one...it matches your blog colors!!

Gail I love this card. I've seen the quilting technique in alot lately and love it. I tried to add some to a scrapbook page. Very cool. Did you use punches for the squares?
