Inspired by Sketch Challenge hosted by Pat's Terrific layout. I stamped three images from the same set, colored and die-cut a section of each one. Then I layered the squares, added some gingham DSP at the bottom and used the ribbon & sentiment for the strips across.
A second one for the Color Challenge hosted by Barbara: Clover, Cajun and White with ribbon for dessert. I was intrigued by this challenge that I wanted to try it again with a feminine flair. I used a blender pen and ink to color the images and added Wink of Stella to the highlight areas.
Ways to use it Challenge hosted by Toni - Snip & Cut: use scissors. I must confess that my card was almost done when I saw the challenge and yet I was inspired to find my long blade decorative scissors that I obtained from Stampin' Up a very long time ago. I really liked the longer blade for cutting. A scallop edge was just the finishing touch I was looking for.
Edit - Realized that I used some retired items which qualifies for the USEIT2021 challenge.
Great challenges! Thanks for looking.

This is really sweet, Diane. The partial images are perfect for the feminine touch and the sketch. It's great that you've held onto those scissors - I love scalloped edges and to this day those scissors are probably one of the most efficient ways to get them. The whole card is simply lovely!

Kudos to you, Diane, for combining three challenges into one terrific card! I love the two stamp sets you used (I bought "A Dozen Thoughts" for that one stamp!), and the way you used the colors in the three images. You did justice to the sketch, too!

Love this sweet card! The images in the color challenge look fabulous and so thrilled that you were able to use some of your older stamps, scissors, etc.! Hugs and thanks for sharing with us at the USEIT2021 challenge!
