If you love challenges today is the day for you - there are so many now that begin on the first of the month. It's a great way to see products you might already have in use, and if you play along you might just be adding some new goodies to your own stash! Here's the August Reverse Confetti Sketch For You To Try (SFYTT). You can always find it on the Reverse Confetti Blog just by clicking on the "Current Sketch For You To Try" button in the right column.
Here's my take on the sketch....
I used the sketch to create the base of my card. Since the circle is the focal point in the sketch I added a sentiment from the Labeled Stamp Set there.
I used the Labeled Confetti cut on the sentiment. The double layer makes a great matt so you can add more color. I used a yellow matt to pick up on the yellow in the background papers.
If you look close you can see I added a little yellow cardstock border too - this was cut with the Double Scallop Border die. That is one of my favorites - there is a different border on either side so you can choose large scallops or small - it's like two dies in one! 
I surrounded the sentiment with flowers from the Garden Bunch Stamp set. The foliage is from Love Blooms. I usually try to make more flowers than I will use whenever I'm stamping. I always save a few - so the next time I pull out the set I already have leaves or flowers to work with - it's a real time saver.
I added some Twinery Buttercream Twine under the label - I think this helps things look like they are anchored and not floating in space. Did you know that Reverse Confetti carries Twinery Twine? You can find it here. You can select the color you want and a 15 yard skein is $3.00
Thanks for visiting today! I hope this is the start of a great month for all of us!
