Best Wishes

Hi! It's my first post for the Paper Smooches SPARKS team. Yeah! I'm excited and a little nervous to share my card. My teammates are such amazing designers (oh, the pressure!).

For this week's SPARKS challenge, it's Designer Drafts time. Here's the sketch:

I used the horizontal version of the sketch and went with a rustic theme:

SPARKS is shifting to a CAS emphasis, so I did a pretty CAS take on the sketch.

I started by stamping the yellow flower from Bold Blooms and layering the smaller flower with foam tape. I finished the flower by adding a leaf from Leafy Greens. For the background, I simply cut a piece of burlap and sewed it to the card base. Here's a close-up:

I apologize for the blurriness of the sentiment...the macro worked great for the flower.ha ha I finished the card off with a sentiment from Simply Said and a mix of stickpins.
