Sunday Sketch Card Garden Wishes by Stampin’ Up!®

Hello Stampers, Alison's border buddy Patsy Waggoner here today.

Each Sunday Alison Solven (my border buddy) and I take turns creating a card using one of our card sketches.  Sketches can help to get your creativity fired up.  They are open to interpretation, no real right or wrong way. 

My CASE card features the Dandy Garden 6" x 6" Designer Series paper pack and the Garden Wishes Stamp Set. I have a hard time passing up anything with Dandelions.   While they do become a "weed" to many I still have fond memories of picking them and giving them to my grandmother.  She always acted like I had just brought her a dozen roses.  She would place them in a vase and they would stay until they went to seed.  

Calypso Coral is one of my favorite Stampin' Up! colors.  The Dandy Garden paper has a variety of colors to choose from and they are all so beautiful.  You can CLICK HERE to see some cards created with the different colors.
