This card was made for two challenges. I LOVE the colour combo at Colour Throwdown this week. We had to use Blush Blossom, Sage Shadow and Riding Hood Red. I had to sub in Ruby Red for Riding Hood Red. Forgot how much I love Ruby Red Ink! Sage is one of my favourite colours!! The other Challenge is the Stampin' 411 Sketch Challenge. I have missed their deadline twice in the past few weeks and so I just HAD to make a card tonight and link it up! I just love their great sketches!I used my Fifth Avenue Florals Stamp set with the En Francais background stamp for the centre of the card. The sentiment is from "For All You Do". I wanted to try to stretch myself, I don't know if I stretched in the right way but I had fun playing! I added some of the pretty Organza ribbon as an accent above the sentiment. 
I don't usually stamped on the card face and I did with a flower from my 5th Ave Set...scary for me...and I have been trying to "sponge" more and I like the softer look. Hard for me to do, because I love making cards with clean lines. I hope you are spending your weekend stamping. I am going to try!
Thanks for stopping by!
