Friday Mashup #41 and Freshly Made Sketches #17

Happy Monday everyone!  I'm having a little fun this morning combining two card challenges.  First I used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches.  {Waves to her "neighbor" Rita in Texas.}  Then I used the Friday Mash Up which was to make a thank you card and/or use patterned paper.  And here is my result:

I used the new Labels Framelits dies.  Love them!  I stamped the image on watercolor paper with black Staz On ink, then used my aqua pens and pads to watercolor the image.  For the ribbon, I layered some of the Lucky Limeade organdy ribbon that will be available January 24 in the Sale-A-Bration catalog over the white grosgrain ribbon.

For a tiny bit of bling, I colored two basic rhinestones with a pink permanent marker, then punched the greeting from Teeny Tiny Wishes with the Word Window punch.  Voila!

Be sure to hop on over to each of the card challenge sites and check out all the great entries!

Thanks for looking at my blog. I appreciate all the wonderful comments everyone leaves. Happy Stamping!
