Card Patterrs! Another FUN Sketch Challenge!!

  I have always enjoyed browsing he Card Patterns database, especially when I am lost for an idea for a new card.  If you are ever need to find a "sketch" you really should bookmark this site.   Click Here to visit their database which is full of wonderful sketches.
  
   I also have been subscribing to the Card Patterns Newsletter for last several months and has been wanting to try one of the challenges for a long time.  Today, was that day and I am submitting a card now for their "Sketch 49' Challenge and you can too.   Simply hop on over to the site - Click Here and you'll find this - Sketch 49, designed by Julie Elak -- 

  This the card I created based on the Sketch --

     The first thing I did was pick out an image and it's a brand new digi image that I bought this  weekend from the Digi Stamp Boutique.   The one I chose is  called "Bunch of Flowers" and I love it.  I actually found several that I loved and I thought the prices were very reasonable and was happy to see they accept PayPal.  There have some really adorable images and if you love digi stamps, like I do, then hop on over and check them out.   There is also a wonderful gallery of projects and I will be posting more cards in the next few weeks, created from some of the images I found at the Digi Stamp Boutique.  They offer a monthly "Freebie" and currently for February your can download another a "Pretty Flower" image.  Click Here and it will take you to that file along with a few other Freebies from previous months.  
    I colored this one with my Copic Markers and then added a hint of "Glitter" to the ribbon and the flower stamps.  I choose a peach color cardstock for my card base and cut my floral color strips from new Sugar Rush line from Basic Grey and then cut a circle from the same paper, using a Cuttlebug die.  I ran them all through my Xyron and adhered them to the card.  I added three matching Prima mini flowers, Twinkle Jewels, glitter and I was done!  
   This was another FUN challenge and I really like the card!  It makes me "THINK SPRING" -- soft colors, nice warm days, sunshine, blue skies and blooming flowers and !  Something I am looking forward to very much!
