S & S Sketch Challenge #172

Another week has flown by and we are back at Sunday which means the Stars & Stamp Sketch Challenge .  Here is the sketch for this week - - -
- - - And this is what I came up with.
I just love this SU sentiment for our heroes and I wanted it to be the focal point.  The patterned paper is by Crate Paper.  It is cut out with Postage and Square SB dies.  The little flower is by AMuse and I colored it with Copics.  I have black bulky Glitter by SU in the flower center and Glossy Accents covering the glitter.  The Lattice embossing folder is by SU.   I do hope all Mom's out there had a wonderful day today, I know I did.  In between visits and calls from family I  even found time to do some yard work and I managed to get this card made. So all in all it was a great day.    Now I need to go make some cookies, because I think I'm in the mood for something sweet.
Thanks a bunch for taking the time to visit.  Bye for now.

  5. I just love how you layered the squares and postage stamp die for the sentiment - what a fabulous look! The flower accent on the side gives such a nice balance too!
    I'm so glad your mother's day was a good one. We pulled weeds in the flower beds too :)

  6. Donna, this is a great card for a service person. Love that embossed background, and the sentiment is perfect. Glitter in the middle of the pretty flower looks fabulous. Hmmmm, warm cookies from the oven on a cool day.....now you made me hungry!

  10. Love this sketch and your card is so cute. I really love that bulky glitter in the middle - great idea. That is one of my favorite sentiment stamps for SU as well - works well for your card too. Hope you got to make your cookies - wish I could have had one. Hugz!
