Thanks So Much

 Hello! Here it is the beginning of another week. Boy, July is just flying by and so is summer.
Today I have something a little different. I'll start by showing my card:

 

 Here is the sketch I used:       

I don't remember how I ran across Sketchbook Saturday Challenge but I always love finding new sketch challenge to try.

Now here is where things are a little different. Friday I bought a new stamp set from My Favorite Things. When I opened the packaging I thought it was too pretty to throw it away.

Here it is: ( I had already cut it apart)

I cut off the decorative ends and then cut the scalloped and strips from the white with the flowers.

I layered the cut strips on gray cardstock and left the middle open which is where I strayed a bit from the sketch. The  "thanks so much" stamp is from Papertrey Ink. I inked the edges of the gray cardstock with Black Soot distress ink.

 

The layered paper flowers are Creative Memories and a pink brad in the center. I sprayed the entire flower with Perfect Pearls.

 

Here is a close up so you can see the shimmer of the Perfect Pearls.

I added some leaves from my stash to finish off the flower and card.
I was too late with my card to link it up over at Sketchbook Saturday :(  but look forward to playing again.

Have a great week!
