S & S Sketch Challenge #147

Good Sunday Morning to all of you.  Sunday means S & S Sketch Challenges.  This week I guess I just felt like being a non-conformist. I just ran off in all directions with this sketch.  Don't know what got into me but I went with it anyway.  I figure some card is better than no card for our heroes.
I ended up making this card.  

I started with a Rich Razzleberry card base and then colored up a Gina K Designs stamp from her Dogwood and Butterfly set.  I did a lot of embossing with the Swiss Dot folder and the smaller hearts are made from scraps of Alcohol Ink paper that I made a while ago.  They are cut out using a Creative Memories Heart Punch.   I used a MS border punch to finish off the top panel and my wavy cutter for the white panel.  That will have to do it for me today.  I have some things to do this morning and then plan on relaxing this afternoon watching Food Network and the final NASCAR
race for this year.  Boo Hoo!!!! Enjoy your day and I wish you all a wonderful week ahead and the best of  Thanksgivings.  Thanks so much for taking time to stop by for a visit.  Love the company.

    Yep, I'm doing the food network thing this morning too, and just saw Guy Fieri make the most awesome looking green bean casserole that I might have to try! Now it's some fun entertainment with the sandwich king (love that guy!)

  11. Hi Donna! Everyone has said it so well--your card is beautiful! The little hearts really showcase your alcohol ink paper. Did you stamp the sentiment before or after you embossed? This will bring a loved one so much joy! Happy Thanksgiving; we're not coming to Mass. this year :(. I miss that!
