Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 81


Good morning - It's time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge! Here is the deal: make a card with this layout and use the InLinkz button down at the very end of this post to enter your card. The links will close on Friday at 10 PM (Mountain Time), and I'll randomly select one card to feature on my blog on Saturday. So, as long as your card is linked by 10 PM Friday, your card will be in the drawing. Be sure to link directly to the blog post or gallery image which features your card. You may post a picture of the sketch on your blog, but please save the image to your computer first. Use the keyword SSSC81 if you plan to post your card in an online gallery.

I used a couple new things on this card today - one is the sentiment; it is from PTI's Signature Greetings and I've been pining over this set forever!  The other?  Scallop roses - cute, eh?  This is my first time rolling them up and I think you can tell - they are SO tight!  I'm not even entirely sure I made them right, but I sure like them!  I used my Silhouette to make them - the spiral rose is a download you can purchase.  I added a little ivory pearl to the centers to hide all the crinkly cardstock mistakes, bwhaha! 

The Sweet Sunday Stampers have amazing sketch samples to show you today, so stop on by to see:
Nancy Riley is taking some time off, but I know she'd love for you to stop by and say hello.

Thanks for taking on the challenge this week! 
Karen
