PPA298 Thank You for Ginger's Sketch

Each time a customer places an order from my Online Store, I always send a hand made card. This week's Thank You card is made using Ginger Toivonen's sketch for Pals Paper Arts and the All About Everything (April 2016 Paper Pumpkin) stamp set.

The card began with Ginger's sketch and the Tip Top Taupe frame scrap that was on my desk. I decided on a Calypso Coral card base, a white background and I decorated the background with the leaf images and Mint Macaron ink.

Those Iced Rhinestones are so sparkly! The photo does not do them justice! I stamped the large flower images using Calypso Coral ink and then stamped the smaller images on top of them using Watermelon Wonder ink. What do you think? I'd love to read your comments!

Please use my Online Store any time you want to cross items off your wish list and have them delivered to your door! My Thank You card will arrive separately! ;-)

Hello Honey Love for PPA262

I invite you to join us at Pals Paper Arts for this week's challenge! If you'd like to play along with the challenge, simply make your card using the above sketch as your starting point, and see where it takes you! Then, take a photo of your card, post it to your blog or online gallery and upload to our blog. You will be playing along, and possibly could be one of three artists chosen each week as our Paper Artist Pick. Your card will then be shown in full form on the blog next Wednesday. Good luck!!

I love how the Hello Honey and Gold Sequins look against the neutral Black and White background and elements. The corrugated paper flags on either end work well for more texture. One simple sentiment does not overwhelm this card.
