Stampin' In Alaska

It's time again for another Sassy Cheryl Digi Challenge and this week we are asked to use our Favorite Color Combo.  My favorite combo this summer has been green, orange and yellow.  After such a long, dreary Alaskan winter these colors have seemed so bright and cheerful! Here's what I came up with using " Bella's Flower " from Sassy Cheryl: Bella was colored with Copic Markers. The designer papers are from Basic Grey's Indie Bloom paper pad.  The sentiment is a digital from the Sentiments 4 You blog.  Machine Stitching and dewdrops finish the card. This card also qualifies for this week's DYSU challenge - Four legged friends. Thanks for stopping by to take a closer look!  I always enjoy reading your comments.

The image was layered with designer papers from the Basic Grey "Life of the Party" paper stack.  The sentiment is from Paper Smooches and has been embossed with CTMH detailed embossing powder (my favorite).  A machine stitched border then a GKD ribbon and two paw brads completes the card.  The final size is 6 inches square.  The sketch is from this week's Splitcoast Stampers sketch challenge.
