It's time for the new sketch at The Sweet Stop, SSS229:
... and this is what I came up with:
The colors came from The Color Throwdown #260 (Baked Brown Sugar, Orchid Opulance, Pistachio Pudding, Tangerine Tango). I tried to match up the colors as much as I could, since I only have Tangerine Tango.
Have you noticed that for some reason, I have a hard time with horizontal sketches? Most of the time, I turn it into a square... hmmm... is there a thing called horizontaphobia? LOL!
Check out what the Sugar Babies came up with: Cathy McCauley, Korin Sutherland, Ceal Pritchett, Marlena Peduzzi, Melissa Shultz, Robin Parker, Stephanie Serrano, Ann Tuck, Cynthia Olheiser, Debbie Owens, and Jamie Moore.
Thanks for stopping by,
Monika

Hello Monika. Your card is one of the sweetest cards I have seen in a very long time. What a great card to give to one or both of your sons. :)
Stay warm tonight.

I was immediately drawn to your colour scheme Monika - it creates such a fresh but soft feel to your gorgeous card. I love the extra understated elements you include too. I know own this stamp set so look forward to creating with it. Ann x
