Melon Lime Blossom

Freshly Made Sketches (click here) has another fun sketch out this week.  I like the simplicity of the layout.  I decided to use the Melon Mambo, Lucky Limeade, Basic Gray color combo again--I think that combo is going into my list of favorites!  This card uses minimal stamping, in fact it only uses the Thank You stamp from Sassy Salutations.  I started putting together the layers of the card and knew I wanted to add the embossed flower (punched with the blossom punch and run through the Big Shot with the petals-a-plenty embossing folder).  Once I completed the basic layers, I realized that the card really didn't need any extra stamping besides the greeting.  I used the square lattice textured impressions folder on the gray card stock and I cut the large circle with the 2-1/2" circle punch.  The brad is one of the In Colors printed brads (in lucky limeade).  I love the patterns designer series paper stacks and I used the paper in Lucky Limeade and Melon Mambo (from the In Color and Brights stacks) and layered them on the coordinating card stock.  To finish off the card, I tied a piece of the new basic gray stitched grosgrain ribbon around the melon strip of paper.  Check back next week for another Freshly Made Sketch :)
