It's Thursday and that means it's time for another challenge at Pals Paper Arts! This week, we're hosting a Sketch Challenge (PPA120) using a simple sketch I designed! This particular sketch was designed to give you ample space to show off a great stamped image or featured element and some pretty patterned or textured paper!
My card highlights the floral and leaf images from the Array of Sunshine set. Each layer of the largest floral image was snipped out with scissors and dimensionals were added between each layer to create depth and height. An adhesive rhinestone adds the perfect touch of bling to finish off the featured flower!
Now it's your turn to "play at PPA"! Everyone is invited to play the PPA challenge using your favorite paper crafting brands and supplies. Our challenge is not exclusive to Stampin’ Up! products only! Click here for more details and see what my fellow PPA Design Team members and this week's featured artist, Rae Harper, did with the sketch! I can't wait to see what you create!

A very striking card, Margaret! The jewel-tone colors set off this stamp set perfectly. The bling is the perfect touch!

Beautiful card, Margaret! The multilayer flower is fabulous. I really like the card sketch that you designed. It gives nice depth and interest to the card, yet it could be as easy or as complicated as one would want to make it. Lovely!
