Hi, everyone! This week's Sketch Challenge is a fun one. Since my job was eliminated last month, I have been purging every room in the house, especially my craft room. While cleaning and organizing, I have fallen in love with my old Stampin Up sets again. For my card today, I have used the 'Carte Postale' set along with the 'Fine Lace' background stamp. This card is a bit of a throwback to an old favorite card which I had created with this set ten years ago...see it HERE. The flowers were colored by using markers direct to the stamp; both the flowers and the bird were fussy cut...there were no matching dies back then! Thanks so much for looking! Have a very blessed day!

Yup. That's still a beauty! Love the lace bg, and your placement of the bird. Does your "job elimination" mean you are retired??????

I had to comment on your card because I knew which set this was immediately. I have it too. I just lost my job and have been looking for the last 2 months. My therapy has been making cards. I think about 22 since April! Anyway, my reason for saying all this is because I have been using all old stamp sets and supplies since I can't but anything new. Now, back to your card. I love your use of the sketch. The b\g stamp is so pretty and used perfectly. Great card.
