PPA48 - Sketch Challenge

It's time for another Sketch Challenge (PPA48) this week at Pals Paper Arts and this week's sketch couldn't be more simple or more versatile!  My card features the bold and bright prints of the Kaleidoscope Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!  Simple bands of patterned prints with faux stitching make a bold statement against the Whisper White card base.  The crisp and clean sentiment, stamped in Jet Black StazOn ink, is highlighted against another fun print from the Kaleidoscope Designer Series Paper pack.  Punched flowers, courtesy of the Trio Flower punch, and red adhesive rhinestones were added for a little extra "zing" and bling!  Clean, simple, and so very quick!

Need more inspiration?  Visit PPA and take a peek at the wonderful cards created by the Pals Paper Arts Design Team and this week's Featured Artist, Barbara Furlong!  Then, get out your supplies and get busy!  I can't wait to see what you make!

You can do amazing things with a small scrap of paper - that little piece of DSP is fabulous as a focal point! Just gorgeous - and the colors are as bright and beautiful as always!

Nice job using the DSP. I would never ave thought to do that, but it sure gives you a place to use up all those narrow scraps!
