I wanted to do two challenge cards today, so this is attempt two to get in done before the deadline. And, I made it. WHEW! This week's CAS Color and Sketches challenge was a sketch challenge. I wanted to use some DSP for the background of the card and as I looked through my stash of paper, I ran across this piece from the Petal Garden DSP and knew I had to use it and since it goes so well with the Memories & More Petal Garden set, I immediately went searching for the perfect image to use for the rectangle on the front of the card.
I used a piece of the DSP that I had trimmed from the 6x6 piece to make it the perfect card size on the inside of the card. This is my new favorite way to decorate the inside of a card. I think it just makes the elements pull together nicely and gives the card a finished feel.
