Sketch Challenge #128
I love this wonderful and easy sketch this week from Tamara.

This is my take on the absolutely fun challenges this week.

This is the recipe:
Stamps: let not our hearts be busy.
*****
Card stock: whisper white...very vanilla...old olive...real red..and summer sun.
*****
Ink: old olive.
*****
Punches: argyle and houndstooth folders...star hand held punch...and top note die.
*****
Additional supplies: yellow hemp twine...sticky strip...1/2" mounting tape...big shot...score-it...crystal effects...round red rhinestones...and hobby blade.

I absolutely love how this card turned out...it was a little difficult using all the challenges for this particular card...but I feel like I nailed it...Whhhooo!!!Hhhhhhoooo!!!
Inside i use white printer paper for my message...the tiny rhinestones are just enough bling...I used very vanilla for the top note, but on my screen it looks white.

Thanks so much for stoppin' by and sharing this card with me...stop by and try these challenges for yourself...you will love them...we are roasting up here with the heat and high humidity...I hope you all have a cool stampin' good day.
