Thursday came mighty quick this week!  I have a new card to share with you that I made for the sketch challenge from Create with Connie and Mary.  A very fun challenge and just in time for my parent's anniversary.  Here's the sketch for this week. They are keeping us on our toes with these wonderful shape challenges!  This week is a square card.  I took mine a little further and made it into an easel card as well.  I wanted a wow factor for my parent's.  Take a look. Here's the front of the card, now for a look at it with the easel. I really love how this card turned out, very soft and romantic feel to it. My colors are Soft Sky and Baked Brown Sugar.  The DPS is from Afternoon Picnic, a lovely and muted look.  I made a larger focal point than the sketch.  I used a doily with a layer of Soft Suede and then the flower stamped with Soft Sky on Whisper White.  The ribbon is Pool Party seam binding and the greeting is from the hostess ...

Today I have another Dreams and Dragons card to share that goes along with Flashback Friday.  I showed you a shadowbox card on Friday in Pink.  Today's it's an easel card in Lovely Lilac. This card features the castle stamp from the set.  I stamped with StazOn Black on Glossy CS and colored it in with markers.  I embossed the card stock behind the castle with Cloudy Day before attaching it to the easel base.  I added a couple layers of colored matting behind the castle to make it stand out.  There is a layer of Lavender Lace then Almost Amethyst, plus I attached it with dimensionals to add height.  The greetings were both stamped with Lovely Lilac.  I put the birthday greeting on a banner that I die cut using the Petal Cone Bigz Die.  The greeting on the bottom was stamped and punched out with the Decorative Label punch.  I added a couple extra layers of CS with the punch and popped it up on dimensionals.  Well, I hope you liked car...
