Dazzling Diva & Retro Sketches


Hi friends!  Hope all of you in the North Eastern parts of the US are keeping warm.  We woke up to -20 this morning.  YIKES!!!  The sun is shining but that is very deceiving.

 
I created this card for the Dazzling Diva challenge and the sketch over at Retro Sketches.

Here is the inspiration photo for Dazzling Diva challenge.



Lots of white space with pops of red.  Love it.  I used the 4 petal Fri-die set from CAS-ual Fridays to create my poinsettia.   The color of the metal sheet I used is Scarlet Red.

Here is the sketch..



As you all know StampNation celebrated it's 3rd Birthday last week.  Prizes were up for grabs from many different sponsors.  You can check out Catherine's blog here to see if you were a lucky winner!




I will be back tomorrow with a sneak peek of my latest trends article posted on StampNation.
