Encouragement Card


 I used some pretty paper snippets from the Paper Studio and SU! along with snippets of vanilla and light green cardstock to put this card together. I followed a fun sketch to design this card adding some dark green cardstock for the base. I used a Cuttlebug EF with leaves on the vanilla panel to mirror the designer paper panel, then used a Stampendous sentiment on some pastel green cardstock adding some dark green candy dots for the finishing touch. 
You just can't miss with pretty papers and a good sketch!

Sharing this with the following challenges:



Can You Handle the Pressure? - A/G Embossing (Cuttlebug ef)
with an optional twist of "things with wings"


Thanks for stopping by. Wishing everyone a safe and happy Thursday on this first day of August.

Sketches are a good idea when inspiration is lacking - it happens to all of us I think. Loving the muted blue/greens on the foliage paper.
