This is for Cathy's Sketch Challenge and the first one of 2018. Happy New Year everyone!
One of my stamping goals for 2018 is to use up things left from other projects, such as pre-stamped images and die-cuts, etc.. Last year I made some Southwest cards since I'm in Arizona. I love this Fiesta Birthday paper and wish I had bought more of it. The cactus images were extras; they were already stamped, colored and punched which worked out nicely for Cathy's sketch. The coyote didn't fit in the circle, so I cut around his muzzle and punch him so he's a little out-of-the-circle. It went along great with the word bubble. The circles are layered on shiny copper paper and raised up on foam squares. A fun birthday card to make. Terrific layout. Hope you have enjoy it. TFL

I love the spanish sentiment and the southwestern flavor of this. Love how you made that coyote fit the sketch. Your colors look wonderful.

What a super fun fiesta card you have made Diane. You sure made this sketch challenge sing this week. Your images are fabulous, especially the way you fit the coyote into this circle and your papers give your card this fun, celebratory feel to it. ~Karen.
