Here’s my card for this week’s sketch challenge. I used the Enjoy The Moment Stamp Set. For this sketch challenge, I had to follow the sketch and use Granny Apple Green, Daffodil Delight and Balmy Blue in the card. I was allowed to use one neutral color and I chose Merry Merlot.
The sketch challenge is from a Stampin’ Up! Team Facebook Group. This was a little more complicated that the card sketches I usually use and I had to use scrap paper to get the measurements figured out.
I love the Enjoy The Moment Stamp Set. I’ve heard comments about this set that people didn’t like it so much but I love these images. They remind me of the fall back where I lived in NY.
I would never have thought to use these colors with this stamp set but I think they really work well with it.
