Create With Connie & Mary Saturday Blog Hop

Let’s Get Sketchy Theme!

Welcome to our Saturday Blog Hop at Create With Connie & Mary! We have a really neat theme this week for our team blog hop. We all picked a sketch and created a card using the sketch. This is the sketch I used:

If you ever get into a creative funk, try searching for sketch challenges or color challenges and that will get your creative juices flowing again. I used the Stippled Roses Bundle on this card:

I opted to use the Lighter Than Air Designer Paper and coordinated my colors plus added Tahitian Tide for a splash of color. I even stamped the flowers in Tahitian Tide and then carefully colored with Stampin’ Blends after letting them dry for a bit:
