If you haven't noticed, I love sketch challenges. I can't get enough of them. I have at least two more to do this weekend (YAY!). So it's absolutely freezing out right now, we are expecting 3-5" of snow overnight, so I needed to do a card that would warm me right up. I'm so ready for spring. :) This card is for this week's MoJo sketch I used some of my new SAB DSP from SU on it. 

Paper: So Saffron, Bashful Blue, Sahara Sand, 120 lb GKD Luxury White, Delicate Dots DSP (SU SAB)
Ink: Basic Black, Close to Cocoa (Sentiment)
Access: Going Grey Taffeta Ribbon, So Saffron Ribbon (SU SAB Bundle), Circle Punches, Koh-i-noor Pencils, Blending Stump, GKD Odorless Mineral Spirits.

The Journey Begins

Evening everyone, 

I'm working on a swap tonight, so I thought I would share the card I am making for the swap, It's for Barb's Year of Cards swap, and I'm making 13 wedding cards. The set is Hand in Hand from Gina K Designs (designed by Melanie Muenchinger). When I do wedding cards, I usually like to keep the colors and design very simple, which I think I did here. 

The only thing I need to add (which I forgot until I started typing this!) is a little silver bling to her ring hand! 

Stamps: Hand in Hand (Gina K Designs)
Paper: Basic Black, 120lb Gina K Luxury White, Pink Pirouette
Ink: Basic Black
Access: cuttlebug, nestabilities, Ivory Wide Organdy Ribbon, Silver Cord, Eyelet Border Punch, Koh-i-noor pencils, Gina K Odorless Mineral Spirits, blending stump, Blush Blossom SU Marker

Hugs ~~ LJ
