A New Card for TMS!


     I am trying very hard to be faithful to doing Tuesday Morning Sketches.  This week is #412.  This week, it was a tough one for me, but I think I like the end result.  The added twist to the sketch is to use embellishments.

   
     The background was created using a fun new die and then placing paper behind to shine through all the holes.  I then took strips of all coordinating papers from my paper pad to create some banners. That pad is the American Craft, Spring paper pad. The sentiment was stamped with Tranquil Tide, SU ink and layered on 2 SU punches.  The sentiment is from the Hot Off the Press, Thank You stamp set.  For my embellishment, I scattered little enamel hearts, from Chickaniddy, called
Twirly Girly.

     We have been in the grips of a nasty heat wave here in PA.  It is kind of hard to motivate or stay focused on any one thing.  Hope you are staying cool, wherever you are.  Remember not to take those doggies on car rides in this, and watch their bare tootsies on hot sidewalks.

So so pretty, Mary Anne! Love your strips of dsp and the sentiment panel! The background die is amazing and love the use of those enamel hearts! This is one fantastic card for the TMS challenge! TFS and stay cool! My doggies got it made...lounging in the ac, lots of cold water, long naps...treated better than a queen! LOL
