We have a new Sketch Challenge (PPA131) at Pals Paper Arts this week using a versatile sketch I designed just for you! This sketch lends itself to so many possibilities and I hope you'll find it one you'll use over and over again!
I love yellow and I paired it here with Pool Party, Whisper White, Calypso Coral, and Poppy Parade to create my Spring-themed thank you card! The featured flowers were made using several different punches and decorative brads. Faux stitching was added to highlight the patterned papers and dimensional leaves. This bright and cheery card just sings happiness! I hope you like it as much as I do! Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think!
See what my fellow PPA Design Team members did with the sketch by clicking here. Then gather your supplies and play along at PPA! Use any of your favorite papercrafting products or supplies to play! I can't wait to see what you create!
