CPS Sketch

The CPS Sketch sponsor this week is Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps so our design team has been having a great time preparing cards using the sketch they provided. I know you *may* have just finished our blog hop, but you definitely should take a peek again! The girls have been turning out some gorgeous cards with new releases and old favorites alike!

One of the things I love about challenges is how different all the cards are even though their creators were all given the same information and all started *on the same page*. This sketch is no exception...the cards showcase the wonderful variety of SNS stamps, and the amazing creativity of the stampers on this design team.

I just love this friendship sentiment, which seemed a perfect match for this sketch so long as I gave it a little flip. I wanted my card to embrace the feel of a ray of sunshine to bring the words to life, so I used the Whisper collection paper that I fell in love with when I made my blog hop teaser (seen here, and in full here). This gorgeous paper on sale now at 40% off so you need to place your order right away! Heheh...I loved this kit so much that if you don't buy it, I might buy some more!

The soft glow of this pale yellow print set the mood I was looking for, so I stamped the sentiment directly onto it and cut it out with my nesties ovals. I inked all the edges of the papers with distress ink, which really accented the scallops at the bottom (made with a MS punch). A sheer bow made with iridescent gold and burgundy ribbon, and some pearl accents, and voila`! I hope you like it!
