Happy Thursday everyone and welcome to your weekly edition of Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge!  This week is a REALLY fun and easy sketch for everyone!  WOW…you should see what the design team came up with…FABULOUS!!!  And each one is sooooo different!

Cool sketch huh?  I decided to flip mine but that was because of the orientation of the stamp.  Isn’t that a GREAT birthday greeting stamp?  I love how it can be the main image!  I wanted to keep it fun so I paired it up with the Berry Blossom dsp.

The base of the card is Wisteria Wonder (what a GREAT light purple!).  I added added a piece of the Berry Blossom dsp along the top then wrapped a piece of the Lucky Limeade Ruffled Ribbon around it.  I inked the greeting using Lucky Limeade, Wisteria Wonder, Calypso Coral and Early Espresso, stamped on Whisper White and punched with the 2 1/2” Circle punch.  I made a ‘bow’ (click here for my tutorial) using the Lucky Limeade Ruffled Ribbon and a Designer Printed brad, added to the circle and then added the circle to the card front using dimensionals.  I stamped the smaller flower using Early Espresso and Lucky Limeade, cut out, added a 1/4” Early Espresso circle to the Limeade and a Calypso Coral 1/4” circle to the Espresso flower then added to the card front using dimensionals.  I stamped the larger flower using Calypso Coral, added a Wisteria Wonder Printed Designer Brad and then added the card front using dimensionals.
