Freshly Made Sketches (FMS#49) and Dynamic Duos (DD17)

Hello friends - Happy Monday! This card is based on two great challenges - Freshly Made Sketches #49 and Dynamic Duos #17 - Wisteria Wonder and Concord Crush - loving those purples! 

 
 
 
This card is 5 1/2 square (I LOVE to make Square cards!).  I used some of my favorite retired DSP called Sweet Shop for the Wisteria Wonder.  I also pulled out and inked up another retired item that I had never used before called "Baby Blossoms" (the flowers).  This is a two step stamp set that is actually surprisingly easy to use (don't know why I never did before now).  First I stamped the shadow part of the flower in Wisteria Wonder and then I stamped on top of that the detailed part in Concord Grape.  I just love how it turned out!  I used three different punches - the modern label punch for the sentiment (one of my favorites), the new mini scallop circle (from the holiday mini) and the 1" circle.  The pretty border is from the finishing touches edgelits - really love the delicate, elegant look of this one.  I layered the reverse side of the polka dot paper behind the punched border so that it would stand out a bit better, and tucked my sentiment down into it a bit.  The sentiment is from another new set called "Sweet Essentials".
 
Thanks so much for stopping by to visit me today - I'm so glad that you did!! Please come back again sometime.  'Til next time... Hugs and Happy Crafting!
