FTL129 No Winter Lasts Forever....

I have never used this sentiment stamp before, but after the bitterly cold weather we've been "enjoying" in Calgary the last few months, I figured the sentiment was the perfect one to try to lift my spirits...

*Cardstock:  PTI White; Stampin' Up! Tempting Turquoise, Pear Pizazz, Tangerine Tango
*Images:  Lizzie Anne Designs Say It In Script
*Ink:  Stampin' Up!  Pear Pizazz
*Tools:  Big Shot; Spellbinders Nestabilities; Stampin' Up! border punch

What I love most about the clean and simple designs is that once I choose my colours, the card comes together so easily!

129!

Good evening! It's time for this week's sketch. Here it is:
If you're wondering about dimensions, the middle panel is 3 inches across. I don't have a measurement for the oval. I used a Nestabilities oval. However, several sizes of the ovals would have worked on here!
Here's my card. I decided to use Heather's Totally Hues colours. I have to admit, I had a tricky time fitting Raspberry Fizz in there, but I finally worked it in as an accent colour! I just recently got the Growing Green set, and I had to use the leaf image from it! It makes a lovely background.
Supplies:
  • Stamps: Growing Green (SU), Inside & Out: Birthday (PTI)
  • Paper: Dark Chocolate, Ocean Tides, Raspberry Fizz, Kraft, Aqua Mist
  • Ink: Dark Chocolate, Ocean Tides
  • Ribbon: Raspberry Fizz Swiss dot satin ribbon
  • Accessories, etc.: Bow Easy, Scallop edge punch, oval Nestabilities
As always, if you play along, feel free to leave a link to your post!
