I'm so very thankful and thrilled to be able to share my card with you today for this week's challenge hosted by Pals Paper Arts, a Simple Sketch Challenge (PPA34)! My absence from my blog and PPA the last month was due to kidney stones. I was unable to work, drive, or do anything, but I am so much better now and so happy to be back!
Today's card was made using the sketch I designed for this week's challenge. I used a color palette of Summer Sun, Pink Passion, Real Red, and Kiwi Kiss to feature the floral silhouette image from Of the Earth. Embossed dots add texture to the band of Pink Passion and the striped Kiwi Kiss ribbon tabs are enhanced with red buttons that sport pink faux threading. A bright sunny card that's sure to make anyone feel better!
Now it's your turn! Visit Pals Paper Arts for more inspiration from the PPA Design Team and create your own card for this week's challenge (PPA34)! I can't wait to see what you make!

The colors of your card are lovely. Reminds me of spring. I was so sorry to read that you had issues with gall stones. I know that they are very,very painful. I'm happy to hear that your feeling much better now.
