I had time this morning to make a card for three challenges (and with a birthday greeting inside), another card for upcoming occasions. First, for the Retro Sketch Challenge which I love:
Next, the ColorQ Challenge:
And, lastly, the CASual Friday challenge:
The three challenges seemed perfect for one another. The ColorQ and CASual Friday challenges both celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness. CASual Friday’s was to celebrate the women in our life. The sentiment from Floral Frenzy (Papertrey Ink) seemed just perfect.
I used Raspberry Fizz cardstock for the base, and all the other papers came from my scrap drawer. In the photo, the sentiment block almost appears white, but IRL it’s a definite pink.The scalloped border was made with a Fiskar’s border punch, and the flowers are old, old Prima flowers. I gave away most of my flowers but, fortunately, saved one small box of a variety of flowers. The ribbon came from Michael’s.
It’s beautiful, Karen – yes, I can see the soft shade of pink in the sentiment panel, how pretty!
You pulled them all together beautifully
Your card is perfect for all 3 challenges….they do fit so well together…..what a lovely sentiment as well.
There’s a new stamp company launched today…..and the stamps made me think of you….they seem so your style….there’s a link on my blog today.
Pretty sweet. I like the base CS too.

Lovely color combination. You have a way of making everything (even lots of embellies) look elegant.
