The Sketch Challenge this week was a simpler one compared to the wild and wacky sketch of last week. I decided to try a simpler style. I have a tendency to mat, mat, and mat, with at least one of those mats being black. It's a thing I have....can't explain it....it is just ME!!!! LOL!!!!Well...I was going through my old 8.5 X 11 designer paper from my scrapbooking days and found some really 'deeeeelish' papers I apparantly had been hoarding without knowing it.....!!! This purple combo 'spoke' to me. So...that is how this purple beauty was born. I think that I have finally managed to make a CAS (for me....lol) card that I really do like.
The one image I used is part of the Dainty Daisies set by Innovative Stamp Creations, who will, by the way, be releasing some truly fabulous stamps really soon. Keep tuned in for some upcoming sneak peeks. This will be my first release as a permanent Architect on their design team.
The pool was very refreshing today, and really quite crowded for a Wednesday morning. I am thinking that the closing of the YMCA in a nearby city might have something to do with that. But, that's okay, as I don't begrudge anyone enjoying the healthy benefits and the fun of aquacise.
Have a wonderful day. We are bright and sunny right now, but storms are on their way. So I will enjoy the sunshine and blue skies while I can.
