Good Morning! Taylor is back with a new sketch, TESC 153:
This one was tough! I had to modify it a bit... so as you can see, the square elements are stamped on the background. I also added a circle behind the greeting... it just looked better this way... what do you think? Is it too busy?
Recipe: Discover Your Wings, Pennant A la Carte, Vintage Dreamer stamp sets (TE)... Pennant Border Die (TE)...DP and ribbon (February TE Ingredients Kit)... Early Espresso, Peach Parfait, Tempting Turquoise classic ink pads (SU!)... Vellum... Clear embossing powder, rhinestones, Baker's Twine (The Twinery)... Sewing machine... Circle punch (SU!)... Slot punch (Making Memories)...
The colors came from The Play Date Cafe, PDSS120.

Monika, it was clever and genius of you to use a square stamp to comply with that busy sketch! This way, it looks more subtle. And what a neat way to use our colors too!
Thanks a bunch for playing with us at THe PLay DAte Cafe!

This is fabulous! I love all the different elements you've added and it really sets off the sketch you used! I love the flower stamping you did and the way you highlighted the sentiment with the butterfly!
