Another hat trick challenge: Create with Connie and Mary's sketch challenge; Colour Q's colour challenge: Basic Black, Basic Grey, Whisper White and a splash of colour ~ Island Indigo, my choice..and Just Add Ink's challenge: Just Add Sequins to your card.

Thanks so much Lisa! Had a great time with the CCMC sketch challenge..definitely had me thinking outside the box...the large embossed dots is one of my most fave accessories! ;)

Oh, I really like this a lot! Love the way you created the background and I especially love the tulips in Island Indigo. It is different and it is so pretty!

Thank you Lisa for popping by...the side bars were definitely a challenge for me and it took me some time to figure out how to make it happen! :)

I love this!!! There are so many fabulous elements on here, but it is still an uncluttered and well-designed card! The background rocks as does the beautiful colour combo. Thanks for joining us at Create with Connie and Mary this week.

Chris Slogar said...

What impressive fussy-cutting!! Those tulips stand out so beautifully in your design, and I love that you embossed the designer paper! Very pretty card! Thank you for joining us at Create with Connie and Mary!

Thanks so much Alison. Had lots of fun putting this card together. Looking forward to the next CCMC challenge. :)

Thank you Chris. I normally leave the fussy cutting to my bestie, but I was solo ~ so I had to do the fussy cutting myself! ;)

Penny Hanuszak said...

Sheri you simply rocked these colour and sketch challenges! Now you've made me want that stamp!

paper bag create said...

Thanks Penny! I must really love the stamp if I'm willing to fussy cut the tulips as you know how I feel about fussy cutting...and colouring!! ;)

Connie Babbert said...

I love how all of the elements of your card come together - it is truly a visual feast with so many different elements, yet it still looks clean, fresh and uncluttered. Thanks for joining us over at Create With Connie and Mary this week!

Christine Blain said...

Sheri, this is beautiful! Awesome use of colour and the sketch, and I love that you've used sequins that complement the colour of the flowers. Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink this week!

Thanks so much Mary for popping by. Just realized that blue tulips are a tad eccentric; oh well.... it's someone's favourite colour! :)

Thanks Christine for dropping by. I am so glad that JAI had the sequin challenge as it was the kick I needed to use my stash! ;)
