It's Thursday, you know what that means...

Our Creative Corner Sketch Challenge!

Sorry I have not been around lately.

I have been on vacation and have been dealing

with some health issues. But you don't want to hear about that.

I have not made a card for a while, and it was fun to

get back to it. I used the new Hibiscus die and stamp

from Prickley Pear. Love it!

Here's the sketch:

Instructions:
Card size is A4, I placed a piece of PP to the left of center. Added a brown paper border edged with the Fiskars border punch, Stamped a great PPRS stamp in Distress ink on the brown. Stamped the stacked pumpkins on a distressed yellow paper, colored with Copics and cut out. Cut squares out of the same distressed yellow paper, and edged them in distress ink. Stamped the saying in the largest square. Glued the smaller squares down on the edged of the PP. Stamped the saying on the large square, added a pop-dot and placed it in between the smaller squares. Added pop-dots to the stacked pumpkins and added them to the left side of the PP. Drew a thin brown line around the top of the card, added some distress ink and then glued a knotted cotton string, knotting it to the ends of the border and at the corners.
