Wish Big

Today I am sharing the card that I made for Dawn's RSCC #7.



I also combined it with the CPS sketch challenge for this week (#117).



And here's my card:


I liked the format of yesterday's post, so I think I will try that again. If there is anything that you have a question about that you cannot find in the Recipe, please email me or leave me a comment :)

- I love the triple stripe stamp from Let Freedom Ring. I think I could have bought this set simply for this stamp. I'm not the first person to do this, am I? I used it to create my plaid background. Ah, plaid.
- Ripe Avocado. It is my favorite PTI color. And it goes so well with Spring Moss and Raspberry Fizz!
- The sentiments from Star Prints. I love the whimy of the flourish combined with the formal text. Is that the same font as Fresh Alphabet?
- Vintage Inks. I used Antique Linen as well as PTI's Vintage Touch Tea Dye Duo. I just love the look (especially on patterned paper!)

I hope you find this interesting and enjoyable - I thought it might be something different than rehashing what I used to make the card. I am certainly no expert, but maybe you'd like to know why I like what I like? Your comments would be appreciated ;)

I hope you have a great day and stop back soon!

  2. Anya, I love this! I also love that stamp too and considered buying it only for that purpose. But, I decided not to. Now, I'm re-thinking it after seeing your cute design!
