The Paper Players #774 Sketch

 Hello friends.  I saw the sketch at The Paper Players and used it to make this birthday card for a good friend who likes purple.  I finished just in time to link to the challenge.

I used SU Thankful Garden stamp, stencil & dies for the pretty bloom. After stamping it, I blended SU Highland Heather and Granny Apple Green inks on the flower, and then die cut it.  I embossed a white panel with my new EF from Scrapbook.com called Etheral and then added a piece of older SU Highland Heather pattern paper for the cross panel.  I added the flower (mounted with foam tape) for the vertical panel.  The sentiment was already stamped and ready to use (it is from a retired SU set).  I added foam tape to the right end of the sentiment and glued the other end on the flower image.  That completes my card and I think she will like it.

I will also add this to Darnell's NBUS as this is the first time using the embossing folder.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,
JoAnn
