Take Time to Smell the Flowers . . .

 Happy Hump Day All . . .

February is running out quickly and I only had a few more days to join in on a fun challenge that I've been enjoying over the past couple of months so I took the time today to quickly create for their fun sketch.

Product used:
OLD 6x6 designer paper
Scraps of card stock
the Paper Studio floral sticker
The Stamp Pad Co. sentiment stamp
 
 The challenge blog is the Paper Players and it's actually one of few WEEKLY challenge blogs out there in blogland.  Most have gone to monthly or bi-monthly.  This is their weekly lineup . . .

Week One: Theme Challenge

Week Two: Color Challenge

Week Three: Clean and Simple Challenge

Week Four: Sketch Challenge

Week Five: Tic Tac Toe

 This is SKETCH week and here is the sketch to inspire us . . .

 

 I liked this sketch so much, I had to made a 2nd card.

 This time I did something I haven't done in YEARS ... Paper Piecing.
The background paper & paper piecing paper comes from the Mintay 'Fall Festival' 6x6 pad.  The stamp I chose to used for today's design is Simon Says Stamps 'Wild & Free Flowers' (2026ssc).

After coloring the leaves with a Tombow marker, I added the fussy cut paper piece panels the proceeded to fussy cut around the image.  Then I didn't think it stood out on the floral background panel so I adhered it to a scrap of the burgundy card stock I used for the horizontal panel and fussy cut again.  All fussy cutting was done with a swivel craft knife.  The sentiment is a stamp/die set by the TON.

What a lovely sketch ... I'm sure I will I will be using it again soon. 

Hope you have a FABULOUS day ahead!

As always . . .
