Card A Day Blog: Thank You, Color Throwdown #277 and Case this Sketch #61

Hello!  I am here!  Just haven't had as a much a chance to create as I did last week.  I was thankful it is my turn to design for Card A Day blog this week.  Ha..I didn't even realize I said thankful in the last sentence...kinda fitting since the theme this week is Thank You cards.   I'm sad to say I don't send these type of cards very often.  I must make more of an effort to do so in the future.

So once again I sought out challenges to point me in the right direction when starting this card.  First the wonderfully romantic color scheme came from Color Throwdown latest challenge #277.

I found this paper in my stash that basically contained all the colors in the challenge although the blue is a little different but they say substitutes are okay.  Next I sought out the latest Case This Sketch #61

I absolutely loved the white tree in the photo so I used my Stampin' Up Season of Friendship stamp and heat embossed it plus the leaves in white.  I placed the tree behind a rolling hill.  I freehand cut the hill and added a slight texture to it using a Stampin' Up texture plate. I added some punched flowers with pearl centers to the tree/hill some baker's twine finished off the hill.  Oh and the sentiment stamp came from Papertrey Ink's everyday classics anniversary set.   A friend of mine gave me that ruffled trim...I keep pulling it out to try to use on cards but it never looked right..but this time I think the ruffle is a perfect accent..what do you think?

Thanks for stopping by.  Please come back again!
