365 Cards Sketchy Sunday - May 17

Time for another Sunday Sketch at 365 Cards! This one was hard for me...not because of the sketch, but because of the paper! I had an April kit from Apron Strings Designs and had not used it yet. I wanted to give it a try. It's all Scenic Route paper...but it's NOT what I'd normally pick for myself. Using it really was a stretch for me!

You can't see from the photo, but the stripped paper is glitter paper! And the other paper has a shimmer to it. I was lucky to find the flowers in my stash! And that clear/yellow button! The card really came together in the end! (The greeting is a Stampin' Up stamp, and I cut the tag shapes with the nesting SU punches.)

I really wanted to use this paper, since when I made the card I was getting ready to leave for Hawaii. I wanted to get the island feel before we left. I'm home now, and can say that YES I did capture that tropical feel.

To see more of the ASD kits...
