Paper Smooches SPARKS-Thank You

*** Scroll down to the post below or click HERE to see my card for this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge! ***

This week's Paper Smooches SPARKS challenge is an Anything Goes challenge.  Since today's my last official post with the SPARKS team as the challenge comes to an end at the end of the month, I thought it was fitting to put together a thank you card.  I'm so grateful to Kim for having me on the team and for Savannah for all she has done behind the scenes to organize and run the challenge.

I stamped the flower and jar image from the Best Buds set on watercolor paper using waterproof black ink, then colored the flowers with Clean Color markers and an aqua brush.  My watercoloring definitely needs work!  The "thank you" sentiment stamped next to the jar is from the Lovely Thoughts set. 

After trimming the panel down a bit, I adhered it to a light purple card base, angling it to add interest.  For a touch of sparkle, I arranged a trio of clear sequins around the image.

We hope you’ll join us and share a project using Paper Smooches stamps or dies. One participant in this week’s challenge will win a $30 gift certificate to the PS store!
