My card today is for three different challenges. I'm trying to use up the retired dsp I've accumulated (yeah, like THAT'S going to happen any time soon!) and this has been a long-time favorite of mine called Cottage Wall from SU!. I paired it with Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive cardstock and used 2 different striped patterns for the
OWH Stars and Stamps mid-week throwdown challenge to use "stripes." I followed the
Retro Sketch Challenge #56, and I'm also going to enter it into the
Simon Says Stamp "anything goes" challenge.
Thanks so much for taking a minute from your busy day to stop by and see what I've been doing! Much appreciated! Now go have yourself a wonderful day!

Your card came out great with the inspiration sketch, might have to that a try! Love vine growing up all over the sentiment.
Another WOW card! Love those stripes and colors. The button is just so perfect for this card! VERY pretty.

Just beautiful Carol. I love the two papers together. You always add just the right amount of embellishments to your cards. The flourish, punch and flower are super nice and that button is perfect. It looks like a real button. Have a great night.
So pretty! I love the colors you used, such great contrast. And the embellishments go together wonderfully. I haven't tried that sketch yet, but it looks like fun.
Oh I like like like!
Great card for both challenges...like the colors that you used!
Another gorgeous card! Love the flourish die cut with the button.
Awesome card! Great paper mix! Tfs!!!
Such a pretty card, Carol! I love those dsp's too but always forget about them. I love the flourish on this and that button! Your sentiment is perfect!
Beautiful card Carol - LOVE the flourish and the fun button! Thanks so much for playing with us at RetroSketches!
Gorgeous card Carol! I love how you've placed the button over the vine die-cut and essentially turned it into a flower by doing that. I also see the Rule of Thirds (this month's Bootcamp lesson) at work in this design but it's not unusual for someone super talented like you to instinctively apply rules of design without even giving it much thought. :)
This is one for the CASE books, Carol. Just ADORE that button!!
Yep, I have a lot of that retired dsp, too. You've made such a pretty card. The button caught my eye immediately...so pretty!!!
Fabulous card Carol, love your choice of papers and the sentiment is darling. TFS
Really pretty card. Love the vine die cut with the button! Soft colors, says love!
Beautiful, love the simplicity thanks for joining us at Simon Says Challenge blog
Great card Carol. I love that sentiment. Thanks for joining in this week's OWH Midweek Throwdown.
Oh ya! I love it Carol, the stripes and dots together are cool, then there's all the other fine detail you've added. Great banner with scallops and that cool paper button. Great use of dies and punches too!
Thanks for playing in our Operation Write Home Midweek Throwdown challenge!
Gorgeous card-- love the papers and the leaf die and that button are adorable! Love it!
