Sketches {by Tamara} #45

Here's my card for this week's sketch at Sketches {by Tamara}. There's not too much stamping here today, just the sentiment.

I picked the colors for this card from the patterned paper and the bracket embellishments. I found a package of glittery plastic shapes on clearance at Michaels and the glittery, striped brackets used here matched the soft lavender in the patterned paper. I would never have paired the lavender with yellow otherwise! The brackets are self-adhesive and the most difficult part of this card was removing the backing to reveal the adhesive. Even with my long fingernails, it took a long time . . .

I stamped the sentiment in ink that matched the lavendar cardstock. The sentiment is from the Never a Loss 4 Words from Kitchen Sink Stamps. I added a pair of pink brads under the sentiment for some dimension and to match the narrow pink ric rac I added to the left side of the dotted paper.
