Playing with Decorative Masks

Sooo, this piece of blended paper has been sitting on my desk for over a month. It was the first piece I successfully made using the Linked Together Decorative Masks. When I saw the inspiration piece for  TGIF Challenge #518, I knew I would use it for the background.

Hi All,

I have a fun card to share that uses a new suite of products that will be available next month. I feel like these products were made specifically for me! Herbs and citrus in a cocktails --nothing wrong with that!

This card was created for As You See It Challenge #344. Deborah has given us a great sketch to play with- so versatile.

CAS Colours and Sketches #556 Sketch Challenge

Good Morning Everyone and Welcome to my blog,

Nancy is hosting our March challenges. She has created a fun sketch using a mini slimline for us to play with this round. For my card, I pulled out some pretty patterned paper and a favorite stamp set. I always have to look up dimensions when making a slimline. My slimline card starts with a 6" by 7" piece of cardstock. Score the 7" side at 3 1/2" so the finished size is 6" by 3 1/2".

This sketch is in landscape orientation but feel free to flip or rotate the sketch when creating your card.
