Take a look at the fabulous sketch from Freshly Made Sketches this week! This sketch is courtesy of the amazing Linda Callahan of Stampin’ Seasons. She makes the most lovely cards and you just have to go see her version of this layout! Of course, the rest of the team has made some amazing projects too.
With such clean lines to the sketch, I chose to use the KISS (Keep It Simple Stamper) principle. I pulled out my Fruit & Flowers stamp set and chose this pretty little flower. The background paper is from the coordinating Berry Blossoms DSP and I let those colors be my guide. Calypso Coral and Early Espresso are so fantastic together! I attached some Early Espresso (retired) Satin Ribbon with one of the brads from the Sale-a-bration package and finished with a sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes. I love the spring feel of this and it helps me with my continuing need for thank you cards from the holidays.
Well, yesterday was my first day of Airbus training and my brain is getting full of lots of numbers. Not too bad so far but I know today will hold many more hours of classroom work. I’m going to keep this one short so I can get back to the books. Thank you so much for all the kind wishes on my training!
I’m so glad you were able to drop in today. Make sure you take a look at the design team’s gorgeous work! I’ll be back next Tuesday with a new SUO Challenge. Until then, have a wonderful week!

I love this bright and happy card. Your ribbon treatment is fabulous!
Beautiful colors together! Love the sweet flower on the panel! Your ribbon looks like a flying banner 🙂 Good luck with your flying Airbus! I don’t know how you can remember everything pilots need to remember – you have my utmost admiration!
I hope the training is going well for you, Jen! I am going to have to try this color combination; coral is such a difficult color for me to use but you made it look fabulous!
I love this CAS card! The colours are very pretty Jen!!
Very pretty card, I love the cheery colours and the beautiful ribbon.
Ditto the appreciation of Calypso Coral and Early Espresso. Happy card with movement (windstream?)
Gorgeous card! That ribbon is absolutely amazing!! Good luck with your training!
I must try this color combo. I love Calypso Coral!
I love that dsp because it always creates a wonderful, colorful background. And it shows off the sweet little flowers perfectly.
So clean and crisp. Love the colors and the ribbon treatment!
Love the ribbon on this card (and everything else too). Great sketch!
Lovely! You do simple SO well!!
Jennifer – this is lovely – I love the “KISS” treatment and the ribbon is such a fantastic accent with the brad!
This is fantastic! Sometimes super simple cards run the risk of being boring, but with your bg paper, the crinkly ribbon, the pattern on the brad, plus a great color combo, this is anything but boring. Very strking card!! Good luck with your training. I know you’ll do great!
Nice card! Very clean. I love the scrunched ribbon treatment.
