Hi everyone! It's Tuesday and time for another one of Mercy's sketches!! Love this week's sketch! I know I say that every week, but it's true!! I love to have a starting point for a card...makes my job so much easier!
Do you remember a couple of weeks ago when I won the My Favorite Things One Click Challenge for August? Well, the reason I decided to play was because I really wanted this set that I used on today's card, called Grow Love...Plant a Tree. I'm kind of a tree nut and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the adorable and whimsical tree images in this set! I paper pieced the tree with some DP from the Citrus Stack by Die Cuts With A View and I layered it on Labels 7 Nestabilities that I got from Taylored Expressions. The scallops at the bottom were done with the Diamond Lace Edge Punch by EK Success. The ribbon is Lemon Tart Satin from Papertrey and the gems are from Amuse!
Don't forget to check out the Muse's to see what they did with this week's sketch:
Shannan Teubner (August's Guest)
and the Head Muse herself....Mercy Kerin
Thank you for stopping by!! Have a great day!
