I hope everyone is well! This week has been ridiculously busy, so I am just popping in really quickly to tell you about our new monthly Playing in Paradise Sketch Challenge! Everyone is invited to play and you have until May 31 to enter. I hope you will join in.
This month we are using Pam's sketch:
Pam went the extra mile and also provided some alternative ways to use the sketch for a card or double page layout:
I really liked the original sketch, so I challenged myself to make a card from it. Here is what I came up with:
Supplies:
Paper - Graphic 45 Secret Garden
Lace - KaiserCraft
Die cuts - Spellbinders Fancy Tags 2 & Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish
Sentiment - Hot Off the Press (Stamp and Punch set)
Other - champaign pearls, crinkle ribbon died with bundled sage DI, Doily, green ribbon from my stash
Please stop on over at the Playing in Paradise challenge to check out the beautiful creations the team has made.
Thanks so much for popping by and for taking the time to leave a comment. I really appreciate them. I am afraid I am horribly behind with visiting your blogs at the moment - I do apologize :( I will start catching up as soon as I get a chance this evening and will try to get around to visiting everyone over the weekend.
Hugs,
Dawn

This is stunning Dawn. Such a lovely way to use those gorgeous Graphic 45 Secret Garden papers. The colours are so soft and delicate and I love the way you have added the sentiment.

Don't you just LOVE Secret Garden? This is a STUNNER Dawn. You've done an absolutely BEAUTIFUL job. Just perfect!
I know what you mean about life getting crazy. I've had a big plumbing problem and a big fish tank problem all in the same week. Yikes. Things have settled down for me, hope they do for you too.
Gorgeous work Dawn. I have this paper, in my 'hoard' and haven't cut into it yet. Thanks for the inspiration. Keep smiling and creating
WOW, love the card you made, Dawn. Such a brilliant use of all elements. Loving all the sketches as well.

Hi, Dawn! It's good to visit your blog, as always. My first thought was "oh, that sketch is so complicated!" Then I saw the second and third sketches and smiled. Your card is BEAUTIFUL - Just love the softness, the Victorian feel, the botanical aspects - it is so pretty. I especially like the little "pearl trios" used as berries or flowers in the flourish. Beautiful card, and it has been pinned so I can see it over and over. hugs, de
