I received the most wonderful email last spring. Kim from Cupcakes, Cards and Kim asked if I would like to be the featured guest designer for The Challenge this September. Wow, I was so thrilled, and honored. This week the inspiration is this fabulous sketch. I have been playing a lot lately, doing birthday cards, using Concord and 9th sets. I don't often post many of my cards so wanted to use the first die set I bought from them. I love their products and they have just been celebrating their first birthday.
So here is my card! The paper pad from My Mind's Eye is so gorgeous. In addition to this lovely floral pattern, there is lots of shiny gold. The polka dots on my card are stunning in real life but just didn't photograph well.
Thanks so much to Kim and to Lesley at Always Playing with Paper for giving me the opportunity to share with you. Hope each of you in the States has a great Labor Day weekend! And hope you will find some time in the upcoming week to be inspired by this fun sketch.
Looking forward to seeing what you created. And I'll be back next weekend with a new challenge!
See you then,
Sharron
