A Garden of Thanks

Hello once again!  Today I have a card using the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches.  It's also for the this week's challenge at Crazy 4 Challenges to create a card with no patterned paper.  I stepped outside a couple of comfort zones with this card!

The first is the color combination.  Never in a million years would I have picked Rich Razzleberry with Tempting Turquoise and Pear Pizazz, but some smart person that created the Stampin' Up Color Coach came up with this combo...and I love it!  Next, the card is flat!  I know there are some layers but I mean it's a "No Extra Postage Required" card, which is pretty rare for me.

Finally, I love designer papers.  I really have to restrain myself when the new SU catalogues come out or when I go to a certain local stamp store...so much beauty, so many ideas...resulting in a large, large stash of paper that I have to work to use up.  So, since I generally never make a card without using it, this card, while not necessarily outside my comfort zone, was unusual for me because it has no designer paper.

Thanks for dropping by!  I hope the remainder of your weekend is very enjoyable.
