Hello there, my stamping friends! Today I have a quick card to share with you as my crafty time was limited last night. I had limited time but I REALLY wanted to play along with the Freshly Made Sketches challenge this week…
What do you think about the tilt-y layer? Do you like those or not?? Apparently there are many folks who would rather not work with a tilt-y angle, I personally do not mind it, it can add an interesting detail to a card.
This pattern paper is from the same pad I used in my last card and it has been calling to me. I just LOVE the vivid yellow combined with the delicate pattern! I paired white and black with it for my neutrals and decided to pull out the green in the pattern with a pop of green across my card front.
Isn’t the pretty edge detail lovely? It’s from a border die set I recently acquired from a small company called Pretty Pink Posh. If you’ve not heard of this company before, you might want to pop over and browse a bit. It’s a one-woman shop and she has lots of pretties to purchase and also has a blog, her creations are darling.
I added a button to my card even though it’s not in the sketch (I hope they don’t kick me out) because I knew I wanted the second part of the sentiment to go across the green strip, but I didn’t have anything long enough to cover the entire card front so I improvised! I adore this Thank You sentiment set from Clearly Besotted Stamps.
No stamping for me tonight…I’m off to my son’s Spring Concert tonight. He is a first-year high school band director and I’m so proud to see him conduct his band that I could just pop!!
Take care and please let me know what you think of my color combination today…it’s a bit bold for me!! Stepping out of that box again!

Great card! I love the tilt. It’s a happy, informal look.
Love the bright colors! Love tilty cards too. I’ve made a few recently also. I browsed through the Echo Park site because I like their papers you’ve used recently, but I couldn’t find prices or how to order. Must you go through their dealers? Great card today!
Hi there!! I was able to find the papers on Amazon so I’m guessing that perhaps Echo Park sells only to wholesalers directly.

I hope that helps!! I actually purchased mine at the Scrapbook Expo I attended a few weeks ago 🙂
Sweet! Love that pattern too!
LOL! Buttons don’t get you kicked out! I love everything about this, but especially the little vellum banner over the horizontal layer. That’s a great look – I’ll have to remember that for later! Now I’m off to Clearly Besotted to check out that sentiment!! Thanks for playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches!
Very sweet card Shannon! I love that background paper and the fun sentiment! That button is a great accent and will never get you kicked out! Thanks for joining us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!
Goodness this is just gorgeous! I love your pretty colours – this is such a lovely DSP and I love your stamping of the sentiment on the vellum banner. Thanks for joining us at FMS this week!
