Sketch Frenzy Friday Sketch Challenge and Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration Friday Favorites: Big News

Happy Black Friday!  Now that we've all relaxed and enjoyed the turkey it means it's time to get serious since we're less than a month away from Christmas.  I've been shopping all night long and by the time you ready this I should be finished up and heading home to hit the hay.  Of course I can't leave you hanging, we have 3 days left in the 30-Day Gratitude challenge and it's also Sketch Frenzy Friday Day so I have a fun card for you.  Over on the Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration blog it's Friday Favorites so I decided to piggyback these all together and use some of my favorite items (and the stamp I used Big News, is currently on sale as part of the Online Extravaganza, can't beat that!)

The cardbase is Pistachio Pudding and I added a piece of Whisper White cardstock matted with Basic Gray cardstock for the greeting.  The greeting, from the Big News stamp set, is stamped in Bermuda Bay.  The "thank you" is from the same stamp set and is stamped in Strawberry Slush ink.  I punched it out with the Modern Label punch before sponging around the edge in Tangelo Twist ink and attaching it with dimensionals.

For some fun accents I added several flags using the Confetti Celebration Designers Series Paper.  For the star I used some Silver Glimmer Paper, the Big Shot, and the Star Collections Framelits.  Dimensionals help the star pop off the card.

This card is so bright and cheery, I love it!  An who doesn't like to hear how awesome they are?  This stamp set is a must have, it has great images for all types of occasions so you'll definitely use it a lot.

Make sure to check out the other design team cards and play along in the fun!  Also, in addition to the stamp set being on sale the Star Collection Framelits and Silver Glimmer Paper are both part of the Online Extravaganza (saving money on awesome products you already want, it's a win-win!!)
