Make a Difference

I created today's card to participate in this week's Freshly Made Sketches Challenge.  I've been tossing ideas for this set around for a while, and when I saw the sketch, I thought it would be a good fit!

Here's a look at the sketch for the challenge:



And here's a look at my card.  I used the Artfully Aware stamp set paired with the Lace Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder to create my card.  Artfully Aware is the "million dollar stamp set" of fellow demonstrator, Janet Wakeland.  (When a demonstrator achieves $1,000,000.00 in career sales, they get to help design a stamp set).  When Janet presented this set at OnStage back in November, I don't think there was a dry eye in the house - me included.  And for that reason, it was near the top of my list of must have sets from the Occasions Catalog. 




I framed the stamped panel with piece of Gray Granite card stock.  Both are attached with Dimensionals to a piece of Petal Pink card stock embossed to the the gorgeous Lace Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. 

The card base is Gray Granite card stock and the design panel has been framed with Whisper White card stock.  I added a piece of Petal Pink/Whisper White Variegated Ribbon to complete the card.  Glue Dots hold the ends of the ribbon in place.

A fellow Stampin' Up! stamper letting you know I love your card. The colors are so soft and the bow is precious--just may have to CAS(E). Love the story I have heard about this stamp set. It makes it all the more special. Thank you for sharing.

Such a beautiful image and I love how you have "framed" it with that embossing folder and bit of ribbon! Thank you for playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.
