Good Saturday morning, everyone! Time for another Stamping 411 Saturday Sketch Challenge!
This week I've blended the old and the new -- The (0ld) stamp set is Flower Fancy and the new colors are Poppy Parade and Daffodil Delight (combined with Old Olive and Whisper White). And the old Micro Beads (in orange) are just about to retire for ever. The sentiment is from Watercolor Trio.
Selene came up with another winning sketch for us this week with a nice, big focal image which gives you lots of design possibilities.
I also used the Big Shot along with the Elegant Bouquet Impressions Folder and some 5/8" Old Olive Satin Ribbon.
I hope you'll find some time to do some stamping this week and maybe even take our Sketch Challenge seriously. We would love to see what you create with this week's sketch. Make sure and check out Stamping 411 to see what the other Operators have been up to and to leave a link to your creation!
Thanks for stopping by! Please come back soon!
Super pretty bright color combination.. Great job gretchen.

Oh Gretchen! Love the Poppy Parade....I think it's my favorite new In Color. I bet this card is so much more gorgeous in person....with the amazing beaded center. Beautiful!
