Perfect Sentiments Challenge 25: Sketch Challenge

Hey everyone...welcome back for another FAB challenge with The Perfect Sentiment

This weeks challenge is to create a card with a sentiment of congratulations or any sentiment that acknowledges an accomplishment or encourages someone to pursue their dreams/goals.  Examples include:  Congrats, You Did It, Dream Big, So Proud of You, You Rock, Shoot for the Stars, etc.  Remember your sentiment must be on the front of the card. 


The twist....Use the attached sketch as inspiration for your card design.  Feel free to rotate or flip the sketch to make it work for you as long as we can still see the basic outline of the sketch in your design. 

I will show you the sketch in just a moment...first here's my take on this weeks challenge....

Now here's the sketch that you will use for this challenge...

You can flip the sketch & make it your own...just be sure we can still see the basic theme in your creation. Now for more of my Celebrate You card : )

I stamped my Celebrate sentiment on some Frappaccino CS using distress ink in Iced Spice. I had this fab vintage trim I picked up junkin...inked it with some Antique Linen distress ink to give it that aged look and I topped it off with a staple after using more of the Iced Spruce around the edges. 

Now this part was really fun to do. I love to fussy cut~yes that might sound insane to some of you but I find this very relaxing & I may or may not cut with my tongue poked out...hey it helps me cut straight ; ) anyway I fussy cut the peonie that matches the one directly underneath...inked the edges with more Iced Spruce & used a dimensional adhesive dot to make the petals & the leaves "pop" off the card. I snipped some foam floral centers from a flower I had for the center. I really like how this turned out...it just adds so much more to card I think. 
Here's a closer look...

I've had these wooden letter tiles for some time now...I can't recall where I picked them up...I luckily had these letters in the jar. To be honest..these were my starting point for the design in this card. I wanted to use something different than just another stamped sentiment or stickers etc...these were perfect! Normally I distress the heck out of most everything I put on a card but this time I just let the embellishment speak for itself. I ran a strip of some fuzzy green trim on the bottom to finish it off. 

A little peek at the inside : )

I receive a lot of very kind comments from my followers/visitors regarding the insides of my cards. I truly appreciate your kind words. I LOVE making the inside look just as pretty as the outside...I mean..it just completes the look. I can't stand how boring and plain store bought cards look on the inside...I mean they are just white with a small sentiment inside...blech!! ; )
