Sketch Frenzy Friday Sketch Challenge: Farewell Sale-a-Bration Petal Parade

Happy Friday! I've been looking forward to this weekend for month's, I head out of town twice a year for an all weekend long scrapbooking retreat in PA and I'm currently busy crafting away and enjoying some much needed relaxing girl time.  I want to take a break to share the fun card I made for this weeks Sketch Frenzy Friday sketch challenge.   Tammy made this weeks fun sketch and I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to showcase for the last last time lots of great Sale-a-Bration items since this yearly sale ends at the end of the month. I used four of the FREE sale-a-bration items on this one card, so fun.  The cardbase is Sahara Sand and I added a piece of Whisper White cardstock that was embossed with the Big Shot and the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder (I made sure the leave the bottom of the cardstock unembossed).  I absolutely love the Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper so I used a strip of it that was matted on Basic Black cardstock that's punched with the Scallop Border Punch and wrapped some Pool Party Baker's Twine (from the Sweet Sorbet Accessories Pack) around the DSP.

 

The flower images are from the Petal Parade stamp set (another SAB freebie) and I punched them out with a 1 3/4" Circle Punch.  Dimensonals were used to attached the flowers to the cardfront and I added little cork diamonds to the center of each flower, also from the Sweet Sorbet Accessory Kit. The greeting is from Teeny Tiny Wishes and is stamped on Pool Party cardstock, punched out with the Word Window Punch and matted with Basic Black that was punched with the Modern Label Punch.  A little half pearl is the perfect finishing touch.

 

This card I so bright and cheery, perfect to help someone feel better and with all these great Sale-a-bration Freebies don't miss out on your opportunity to add these to your crafting stash, love them!

 

Have a great weekend and happy crafting!
