Oh what fun!

Today's color scheme:  Pumpkin pie (card base), Taken with Teal, Old Olive, and Sweet Pea DSP

There are days when making a card does not seem all that fun.  That was not the case today.  Maybe the Sweet Pea DSP (i.e. pumpkin pie with white polka dots) is what help make the card making fun.  To me at least—there's something about polka dots—they usually give me a feeling of happiness.  Crazy, huh?

I was browsing through the various sketch challenges that are out there in the blog-o-sphere and really got inspired by Sweet Sunday's sketch challenge (SSSC58).   Once the craziest at the household settled down I huddled down in my stamp area and got busy with my take on the sketch.

To make the card I stamped a non-SU flower stamp with black ink on Sweet Pea DSP and cut it out.  Next I stamped the flower on Whisper White paper ( 1 3/4 x 1 3/4") with Pumpkin Pie ink and matted it on to Taken with Teal paper. The cut out flower was attached with a retired SU! flower-shaped eyelet and my trusty Crop-a-Dile.  Add some 1/4" Old Olive ribbon and Taken with Teal paper trimmed with a non-SU! border punch.  Surprisingly it did not take that much time to make today's card.  I embarrassed to say how long it takes me to make a card on some days. :P
