Paper Players Sketch Challenge #350

Hello Stamping Friends,

Back today with a wonderfully versatile sketch challenge from the creative folks over at The Paper Players blog.  I just love this sketch and can see many future cards in my mind's eye using it.  ;-)

For my card I used some older products, but combined them with some new in colors as well.  It was a fun challenge for me, and I hope you enjoy it too!

Blessings and Happy Stampin'!

The Sketch:

My Card:

For my card I used Pool Party, Tranquil Tide, Lemon Lime Twist, and Whisper White card stocks, Tranquil Tide, Lemon Lime Twist and Archival Black stamp pads, and the fun Naturally Eclectic DSP.  Stamp sets are Painter's Palette and Work of Art.

Details:

A Lemon Lime Twist stitched frame and a simple Pool Party baker's twine bow finished this simple card perfectly for me.
