Card Patterns Sketch #120

Good Evening,
Hope things are good where ever you are! Things are going good, summer is going fabulous, and I am trying to scrap away the days! At least something, each day or definitely every other day! I created a card using Card Patterns sketch #120. I wanted to do something a little different... I could quite figure out how I wanted to photograph it, but I tried my best.

Here is the sketch!

I sort of did a matchbook thing... but upside down. I cut out the floral piece using "Straight From the Nest" just to add an extra feminine touch. I found this "Authentique" paper at Archivers and I just had to get it... I have recently begun to hoard 6x6 mini paper pads... I have started quite the collection! he he! The sentiment on the front is a Savvy Stamp and the sentiment on the inside is Unity. Hope you have a fabulous day!

Materials Used:
Patterned Paper: Authentique
Carstock: Bazzill
Ribbon: Michaels
Border Punch: Fiskars
Cricut Cartridge: Straight From the Nest
Stamps: Savvy and Unity
