I’m happy to be sharing a card with you today as a member of the HLS Sketch Design Team.
Here is September’s Sketch:
Wow! Don’t you just love this one? I do!!
My card: I used PTI’s Peony Cover Plate Die to make this card. I’m really enjoying this cover plate die. Peonies and their sweet fragrance remind me of my my mother. I love you and miss you, Mum.
I sponged 2 backgrounds, 1 yellow and 1 red, for the flower in SU’s Real Red and Tim Holtz Squeezed Lemonade. Then I cut out 4 of the Peonies, in the sponged red and yellow and also in green and blue card-stock.
I put the sentiment on the inside of this card. I used a stamp from PTI’s Cheerful Heart Stamp set.
Please make sure that you stop by the other HLS Sketch Design Team members blogs to see their creations this month.
Also, have you heard the news? HLS has released our own line of stamps! We have started off with 4 basic sets that are a must have in your collection. Around September/October there will be another release.

It is really a beautiful card. I love her wonderful encrusting. The use of several colors on the card is even more beautiful.
All the best on your birthday, Melissa 🙂 happiness, joy, health, love and fulfillment of dreams wishes
