Retail Therapy

My Heartfelt Creations Design Team Alumni post is HERE.

I know!  You can't believe I'm back AGAIN!  Neither can I, but I just realized I was going to miss a challenge I like and I'd even made the card already!  I will keep it short and sweet.  My card is for Sweet Sketch Wednesday #146, which is being sponsored this week by DigiStamp Boutique.

Here is the sketch:


And here is my card:


My card base is SU Pool Party.  The patterned paper is from the My Mind's Eye Miss Caroline Howdy Doody 6x6 pad.  My cute image is Connie Shopping from DigiStamp Boutique. This is one of the images I was lucky enough to have won when Sally-Ann sponsored the challenge previously.  I printed her on Cryogen and colored her with Copics.  I added a bit of Stickles here and there for some sparkle. The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  It is from the Retail Therapy set which is in Paulette's store here.  Some satin ribbon and a few Wild Orchid Crafts flowers finished my card.

I promise this is it for the day!  Have a great night and see you soon (but no sooner than tomorrow - lol)!

  3. Ha,Carla I thought you were going to tell us about your latest purchases. Your colors and papers in this are so gorgeous together. Funny I am thinking of using cocoa, aqua blues and pops of rust in my design for the redone guest room, so your card speaks to my heart. So glad you could join us this week at Sweet Sketch Wednesday as we love seeing your cards.
    Hope you are well, we just got back from a getaway and I am trying to catch up.
