Relish Small Pleasures

Hi there!  Happy Tuesday!  Hope your week is off to a good start!  Sorry I've been MIA the last few days.  I've had a lot going on, but I'm trying to get back in the swing of things.  It's already raining cats and dogs here and we are only on the outer edges of the storm.  I hope everyone in a more direct path of Isaac stays safe.  I'm popping in to share the card I made for Saturated Canary Challenge #24. The challenge was to make a card inspired by this inspiration photo:


I used the Sketch Saturday #222 sketch for my layout:


Here is my card:


I used GKD Passion Pink cardstock (I know, very bright for me) and layered with two patterned papers from the Webster's Pages Sunday Picnic Petite Papers pack.  I merged two images, Picnic from Saturated Canary and Bicycle from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I printed the merged image on X-Press It and colored with my Copics.  The sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.  Some hot pink ruffled satin ribbon from one of my Webster's Pages Trim Cards and a few aqua gems from my stash finished my card.

Here is a close up of the image:


My card is also for the current Whoopsi Daisy Challenge (use two patterned papers).

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope to be back soon with a few projects I'm trying to complete.

Have a good day!
