Happy Sunday, friends!
Time for a fun new creative challenge over at The Paper Players!
This week, I am super-excited to be your host for our Sketch Challenge.
If you have visited me before, you might know that Sketch Challenges are my FAVORITE! They are such a great starting point to get your creative mojo working. I had fun designing this sketch and I hope you are inspired to share your creativity with us this week!
*I’ve listed all of the measurements and details for my card below and there is a full supply list at the very end of this post.
For my card I started out with a stamped images that was sitting on the corner of my desk. I had stamped the floral image from the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set for another project I was working on and didn’t end up using it. I didn’t want it to go to waste, so I added it to the little pile of “misfit card bits” to hopefully use on another project. It caught my eye when I sat down to create with this sketch, so I picked out my color palette and went from there.
I’m on a bit of a Pool Party kick lately, so I searched for some DSP in that color for one of the layers. The Design A Daydream Host-Exclusive Designer Series Paper is one of my favorites. Not only is it a HUGE pack of paper but the patterns are so versatile for so many designs. It is available for a great price as a host reward for a (minimum) $150 order.
Pool Party and Pale Papaya are two colors that really pair beautifully together, so that was my pick to color the flowers along with a little pop of Old Olive on the leaves. Such a soft and pretty color combo, don’t you think?

Finally, here is a peek inside the card! I added a strip of the DSP along with a little pop of a stamped image to "keep the party going" from the front of the card. I didn’t add a sentiment to allow room for a handwritten thank you note.
