365 Cards - Be Bold

Tomorrow is the last day for Cosmo Cricket Week at 365 Cards! I hope you've played along this week with me, and the rest of the DT. We all loved our Cosmo paper packs! Today the paper line being showcased is Snorkel. I happened to have some of that in my stash, left over from an Apron Strings Designs kit. The challenge for today is to make a card using stripes and bold colors. Well, this sure fits the bill!

I also used purple Bazzill for the card! Purple is NOT a color I enjoy using, normally, but I had a half sheet left over from the grapes challenge a few weeks ago and it matched perfectly. I cut out the "life saver" sentiment from the Snorkel cardstock strip. I am so thankful for my Fiskars micro tip scissors!

The smiling sun is an embossed cardstock element that I cut from a sheet of We R Memory Keepers paper. This paper is OLD, people. I'd guess 8-9 yeas old! But look how he matches!

The little thank you stamp is a Close to My Heart mini.

I started out trying to use a sketch that Apron Strings Designs had on their blog for June 12th. It's a great Pagemaps layout sketch, but since I was trying to make a card with it, not a scrapbook page, my finished product does not really look at all like the sketch. Well, that happens sometimes!
