For an Awesome Friend

I am pleased to announce that today I am a guest designer over at Die Cuttin Divas.  And today we have a sketch challenge just waiting for you to come join in on.  You'll find a picture of that sketch at the end of this post.

 

But first I wanted to tell you a bit about my card.  To create this one I started with a card blank from the DCWV Solstice cards and envelopes boxed set.  I then chose this precious baby dressed up like Eeyore to use as the focal point for my card.  This adorable cut is part of the Forever Friends file from Marjorie Ann Designs. 

 

Luckily I also had a scrap of this equally as cute baby pooh and friends paper hiding in my stash.  Combine those elements together and you have a great card in play. 

 

To finish off the card I had to have a sentiment, and it had to go inside a circular shape.  Well what better for something like that then one of the candy stamps from Jaded Blossom?  This particular one is from the BFF Candies stamp set. 

 

Finally, I had to have some kind of bling to go in the upper left corner of the card.  This was perfect for using some of the Eggplant colored skittles from DoubleClick Connections.

 

And now here's that sketch I promised so you can play along too.  Create a card with any theme following this sketch and then link up and play along with us.  As you can see I turned my card over on it's side for my interpretation on the sketch.
