Feelin' SCS CAS-N-Sketchy

I was browsing the challenges on SCS and I really loved todays sketch 275 and I also liked Mondays CAS challenge...to use only a sentiment stamp...so I combined the two challenges and this is what I came up with!
The paper I used is called "The Whimsy Stack" by DCWV. I loved the colors in the papers and the swirl...not to mention that it was already glittery and shimmery...BONUS! So once I cut my pieces all I did was attach. I cut out a scallop rectangle with my large rectangle nestabilities and then a simple textured white piece of bazzil paper. Add some delicious flowers and a designer brad and dimentionals...Voila, your card is complete!
Supplies:
Ink: stazon black
Paper: Green galore, tangerine tango, DCWV whimsy stack, white from bazzil
Accessories: brad by DCWV, big shot, nestabilities, prima flowers, crop-a-dial
Thank you so much for stopping by! Happy Stampin'

So can you see it? Do you see the dimention? I stamped thr tupil on DP and then I stamped it again and only cut out certain sections and then proped them up on dimentions...for the stem I actually colored the stem and one leaf...then paper pieced one flat and one on dimentionals as well...I loveeeee it!

Thank goodness we're on Spring break and I can relax a bit longer...although with spring cleaning the porches and driveway I don't think there will be much rest! Anywho, here is todays Little Paper Shop Challenge...it's a fun sketch!
Okay, so this is your warning, my card doesn't so much look exactly like the sketch...but it's pretty and it resembles the sketch somewhat! LOL


I used two stamps from LPS...one is a more recent release called {Moments}
The other set I used is an older one...but still awesome in it's own right! The set I used for the cool border is called {Flourished Dove} I really like this set...it has some amazing stamps that you can use as main images or accents like I have done here!
