Smile

Here's my card for this week's My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge.  I created a fall inspired design with stamps and dies from MFT's All Smiles card kit.  The flower from the Plentiful Petals set was stamped in yellow pigment ink with a brown center.  I used the matching dies to cut out the flower and a pair of green leaves.  They were arranged on the edge of an orange on orange striped patterned paper panel, using foam tape for dimension.  I added a self-adhesive pearl to the center for a bit of sparkle and shine.  I die cut the word "smile" from brown cardstock using one of the Double the Smiles dies and adhered it to the striped panel.  The "I'm thinking of you today" sentiment was stamped just beneath the die cut word in dark brown ink.  I adhered the panel to a cream cardstock panel over a strip of orange cardstock edged with a narrow strip of brown cardstock that matches the die cut word. The finished panel was adhered to an orange card base.
