Freshly Made Sketch #40

Here's Lesley's Fun and easy Freshly Made Sketch #40.

And here's my card. I used an EK flower dimensional punch to create the flower, but I didn't follow the directions for using it, because I wanted to make something that was more mailer-friendly. I snipped each of the petals apart, and adhered them to a circle, adding a giant white brad to the center. I used the SB petite ovals for the frame, and embossed the center with SU!'s new fancy fan ef. The sentiment is from SNSS, and the turquoise pearls are from Pizzazz Aplenty, and the papers used are from the Echo Park Happy Days pad.
Wishing everyone a fabulous Friday!

Carol, Smart way to use that punch. I love that your embossed that center of the circle and those turquoise pearls are just darling. All around great card. Hopefully tonight it will cook down. We are getting rain, I assume you might be getting it also.

Just super! I really like this sketch and the pretty paper you've used. Sweet sentiment, too.
Hope you're having a great weekend. I'm still cleaning...so sick of it I could scream. I don't know if my house will ever be back to normal. The downstairs is finished and we're upstairs now. Worked in the yard this morning so I'm pretty tired.
