Sophia


Inside of the card
I've been working on some cards for the auction for Operation Smile Charity at Leadershare and since this is also made for a Sketch Challenge I need to post it.

The inspiration for this card came from the sketch challenge at Creative Sketches.
Along with the sketch, is also the theme of Celebrations. I chose not to specify the celebration since the card will be auctioned off, but you can tell it's celebrating a special person.

The paper pack is the Wings Creative Basics. I just love the colors in this paper pack and the ribbon included in the pack is GORGEOUS!!!

The stamp set is called Sophia and comes in the Sophia Workshop on the Go.
The colors used are Cocoa, Juniper and Sweetleaf.
I used the Juniper Bigger Brads and matching Juniper Embroidery Floss for the Hans Stitching.

Other Challenges for this card:
Anything Goes - Make your own
Truly Scrumptious - Tag It! 
Lili of the Valley - Punch It!
Paper Play - Distrressing

    STUNNING CARDS! I love your artwork. I am so sorry I didn't have the opportunity to tell you personally at Leadershare! Every time I found you, you were surrounded by fans! LOL LOVE your cards! Your stitching is always amazing. THIS was my favorite (of so many!) card in your Operation Smile auction item. :)
