Aaahhh, Houndstooth! What a great pattern!



This card was made for a new sketch challenge blog, Card patterns. You can find their first challenge posted here. My friend Karolyn directed me to this site. She must have known that I love sketch challenges! Actually, she told me about this site because they are having a contest for a new guest designer. So, I sat right down and got craftin'! I just purchased some new flowers and embellishments from Making Memories under the name of Sabrina. She (they) have a lot of houndstooth patterns, black and pink and vanilla embellishments and different patterned paper. Just a cool collection! It can be found at Michael's. Last week on the Pickled Paper Designs blog, Amy used a frame, and I thought how brilliant to use a frame on a card! Well, I didn't have any, but when I went shopping and found some frames to go with this collection, I snapped them right up! The flowers are actually prima flowers. The flowers that come in the Sabrina collection are too big for this card, so I had to downsize. The sentiment inside is from All Year Cheer. The houndstooth is from my retired SU! background stamp. Another thing I snapped up before it was gone!
Hmmm, I think I'm really liking pink and black and white together! Or maybe it's just the pink??? Maybe my 2 year old daughter who LOVES pink is rubbing off on me!!!
Happy Stamping!!!
