Good morning! Surprised I'm posting again so soon? Me too!! It's going to be a wonderful day. Ever wake up and just know that you're going to have a good day? The weather here is gorgeous, too. Crisply blue autumn sky and chilly breezes carrying the first of the falling leaves. I like those leaves...as long as they stay out of my gutters! Well I finally managed to finish another of Beate's weekend sketch challenges. I took a few liberties with it so that it fit a standard A2 card, but it's close enough. Since she included a circle in the sketch I decided to embrace the circular theme and use some patterned paper from Papertrey. I embossed the base with dots, distressed and stitched the middle panel and - of course - added some buttons. Thanks so much for stopping by!
Until next time...M
Supplies:
Ink: Papertrey dark chocolate
Cardstock: Papertrey spring moss, aqua mist, select white; Papertrey Everyday blessings patterned paper
Stamps: Papertrey Floral Frenzy
Other: Papertrey ribbon, SEI buttons, sewing machine, SU distressing tool, Cuttlebug swiss dot embossing folder, 1" and 1 1/4 " circle punches
Oooohhhhh....that's beautiful. I love the soft colors you chose, I love the dry embossing and the buttons.
Thanks so much for playing!
Hugs and smiles
