Hey everyone! I’m here to bring you a card made with two new or new to me challenges! Craft Project Central has a Creating Pretty Cards every month and this is their sketch for May. Lesley Croghan, a tireless creator of all things stamping, has started a new challenge called Dynamic Duos. So armed with a sketch and a color combination, off I went to stamping.
I have to admit that I found both the sketch and the colors to be challenging but hey, that is the purpose for these, right? To take us out of our box. With these colors I really had no choice but to pull out the SAB papers from Everyday Enchantment. That paper is just so wonderful! Fresh Vintage is the natural pairing (also SAB) so I inked it up in Pool Party and Lucky Limeade. I used the narrow Organza Ribbon from SAB around the Pool Party layer and tied it onto the buttons. A sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes finishes it off.
I hope you’ll have time to play with these challenges. You’ll be glad you did!! You have a whole month for CPC and until Thursday at noon for Dynamic Duos.
Back tomorrow with a new Freshly Made Sketches card. Have a great day!
Stamps: Fresh Vintage, Teeny Tiny Wishes; Paper: Everyday Enchantment DSP, Pool Party, Very Vanilla; Ink: Pool Party, Lucky Limeade; Accessories: Neutrals Buttons, Limeade Narrow Organza Ribbon, Mini Glue Dots

Beautiful card! I love the buttons with the organza ribbon bows! I think your color combo is so pretty, especially with the Everyday Enchantment DSP and Fresh Vintage stamp. You did a beautiful job! Thanks for playing along with the Creating Pretty Cards Sketch Challenge over at Craft Project Central.
This is so pretty! What a wonderful sketch and the DP’s you used coordinate so well with your elegant main image! Thanks for joining us over at Dynamic Duos this week! 🙂
Beautiful card. Love the strips of dp.
Your card is so pretty and elegant, love the strips of paper on this one.
Ah, how I love that SAB paper! I have a whole, unopened package of it that I am hoarding! lol Lovely take on the sketch…I really admire your work, Jennifer.

I love your shabby chic take on these challenges. And thanks for turning me on to a new sketch challenge!
Jen, this is so pretty! Love the offset buttons with the darling little organdy bows. Too, too cute! 🙂
Such a pretty card, I love all your elements.
Jennifer, I would never guess that you found either challenge…challenging! The end result is beautiful! I love that SAB paper, too and it really is perfect for this combo. Thank you so much for joining us over at Dynamic Duos this week! Have a great day! 🙂
That background is a great way to use up scraps of DSP. I love the vintage look and the ribbon through the buttons. It’s lovely that you could join us for our first colour challenge at Dynamic Duos.
Your “roughed-up” edges keep it so vintage and elegant – yet the card is still so clean and simple – what a gorgeous combination!! Thanks for joining us for our first Dynamic Duo!
Oh, so pretty Jennifer. Love the pretty flower image and the blue color. I need to try that sketch! :o)
I love your take on the sketch and the colours Jennifer. The buttons finish those strips beautifully!
