Happy Wednesday! It’s a good day here, even though we are expecting some storms throughout the day. It’s also Sketch Challenge day on Splitcoast. I liked today’s sketch and it will probably be one you see me use more than once. It really shows off the background paper!
For today’s card I chose a new set of stamps, Green Thumb from Papertrey Ink. To try something a little different, I colored the stamps with markers and then stamped them onto Whisper White cardstock. I loved the look that it gave the flower pot, which then let me color in a tad bit of Mellow Moss to give the pot a semi-aged look. The stems, leaves and the sentiment were stamped inking the stamps from the ink pad. For the background papers, I chose Stella Ruby by BasicGrey. You just gotta love these papers! I cut the sizes that I wanted, then ran to the sewing machine (which I have now just keep set up on the kitchen desk) and sewed the paper to the background layer of cardstock. Both top panels are mounted on dimensionals to give some depth to the card.

Hi Sherry,

Storms here in OK also…your card just brightened my day…sweet!
This is so cute with the flowers in the pot! Love the way you showed off the versatility of this beautiful paper. The stitching is fabulous!
I chose this set too, but you did a better job, lol. This is gorgeous, I love it! But then I think you are genetically incapapble of making a bad card! lol!
Thanks for sharing such a great card and yet another reason to have those PaperTrey stamps on my wish list.
Gorgeous card Sherry. Don’t you just love your papertrey stamps?
Love the aged look of the pot – have this set, will have to try this! And the papers are gorgeous!
