S & S Sketch Challenge #134

Good Sunday Afternoon,  I'm back home after a two week stint in California and I'm hoping to get back on schedule with card making.  I'm starting with this week's sketch challenge over at
Stars & Stamp Blog.  Below is our sketch   .  .  .

.  .  .  And here is what I came up with.
I started with a SU Very Vanilla card base.  My next layer is made with green parchment card stock and then I embossed my two strips with SB "So Trendy" MBossibilites and the Cuttlebug's "Swiss Dot" folder.  My sentiment is by CC Rubber Stamp Company and seems to be my Birthday go to stamp.  I added a little sunflower charm that I received as part of my winnings from a recent House Mouse Challenge.  I used two different twines to make a bow.  My final touch was a flower I put together using two layers of  artificial flowers and a back layer using a  punched flower with  bronze brad.  That will do it for me, but hopefully I'll be back again tomorrow.  I'm going to try real hard to become more regular with my postings.  Thanks for taking time out of your busy day to  stop by and say Hi.  I truly appreciate the company.

  5. Great card Donna, and I spy a new SB embossing folder :) (don't you just LOVE that one?!) It's so great to see you stamping and making cards again! I'm feeling sluggish today and not in the mood to stamp. Hopefully I'll find my mojo and bring it back home soon :)
