I was so excited that I made it into the final 3 in the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge last week! Thanks you for the positive response! I've been scrapping and card making for years, but the blog is new to me and I am still learning. I promised myself that I would be true to myself and make things that appeal to me. I am thrilled that you like my creations and appreciate your comments encouraging me to try new things and step outside of my comfort zone.
I have to say I really love a challenge - it keeps me on my toes. This one is the Challenge of the week from Waltzingmouse. I really tend to be influenced by the colors of nature that surround me. I am a gardener and my garden is in full bloom so you're probably going to see lots of colors until the seasons change. My daughter graduated from high school this month so I thought I would make the challenge card especially for her. And even though she is 18 and has outgrown lots of things - like "girl's night" with mom - she is still in love with the color pink! And even though we don't paint each others toe nails - she is still my STAR! I hope she SHINES in college when she starts this August!
I wanted to keep the lines clean. I embossed the star and the pennants - I think this gives the most complete ink coverage and maximum color.
I hope you like my card! I had lots of fun making it and I have to admit - maybe I like pink too!

Oh Jeanne, another stunner from you this week! I love the way you featured the star tag and the sweet banner set together! Your additions, like the gingham panel and little corner piece, flow perfectly with this sketch. Congrats to your daughter on her big accomplishment!
