Retro Sketches #46 and January CARDS challenge



Don't you just love it when you see a challenge, and know immediately what you want to do?  This week's Retro Sketches #46 features a sketch from someone I love to Pin--Laurie from Soapbox Creations.  The sketch is based on a card I remember seeing when she originally posted it--I wanted to CASE it then, and I am finally doing it today.  Here is her original card. I love the way the white embossing looks against the blocks of color.

I am using this month's CARDs Blog Challenge colors in my card.  These colors seem to me to be very soothing, perfect for a sympathy card.



Supplies Used:
Stamps:  Paper Smooches Sentiment Sampler, PTI Lovely Leaves
Paper:  PTI White, Soft Stone, Aqua Mist, Simply Chartreuse
Ink:  Versamark, Versafine Onyx Black
Other:  White Embossing Powder


Thanks for Visiting
