HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Today’s card is a reflection of this week’s Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge (PPA181). I just turned the sketch (by Nicole Watt) 90 degrees and used a little imagination! Check out what the rest of the PPA Resident Artists created with the sketch HERE and try it for yourself over this holiday weekend!
STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- Polka Dot Pieces stamp images (Wood-Mount or Clear-Mount) coordinate with five different Stampin’ Up! Punches. I made use of the 3/4″ Circle Punch, 1 1/4″ Scallop Circle Punch, 1 3/4″ Scallop Circle Punch and 1/2″ Circle Punch.
- Each flower center is popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals for a flirty 3-D effect.
- The color combination of Soft Sky, Real Red and Basic Gray was inspired by this week’s Pixel Maven’s Retreat Color Challenge (PMDC033).
- One of my favorite sentiment sets ever! A Dozen Thoughts (Wood-Mount or Clear-Mount) knows just what to say (“you’re in my thoughts”) in such a variety of pretty fonts.

I have just recently come across your site by way of Pinterest.
There are many card layouts and color schemes that I have never thought of.
I look forward to seeing more and learning more which will of course make me want to buy more and do more.
Thank you for the creative & inspiring outlet.

I hope that you had fun celebrating your birthday today! I love this card with the striking contrast of bright, bold red with the calm, cool blue. The flowers make me think ahead to Spring…I was one of those dedicated early morning Black Friday shoppers, who stood in line with hundreds of other fellow shoppers! 🙂
This is a great card! Love the bold Real Red with Soft Sky!
I hope you have a wonderful and relaxing Thanksgiving, too!
I love this! The colors are great and that stamp set is just fun! I hope that you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
