Tuesday Morning Sketches #161

Good morning to you!!  Another Tuesday, another Tuesday Morning Sketch!! :)

**I'm sorry to have to say this, but I won't be commenting on blogs with word verification.  For the last couple of weeks, I have not been able to do it no matter how many times I tried. I don't mean to sound rude, but after typing that code when I KNOW I have it right and it still doesn't work, I'm giving up!  FYI, Blogger's spam filters are pretty good.  Since I started in Jan '11, no spam has appeared on my blog.  I get the email about it and delete it from the spam folder.  If you are concerned about it, set it so you can approve all comments.  And maybe that spam isn't bad... they tell me if I click their link, I could make millions of dollars!!!!!  LOL

Back to business...

Our sponsor this week is Raisin Boat.  What a cool stamp company!  You can buy stamps, of course, or you can RENT stamps for a monthly fee so you get new ones to try often!  Very neat!!  And those sweet folks sent the DT some stamps to play with, too!!

So come over and play along with this awesome sketch by Melissa...

And here is my card...

My stamp set is Hydrangea Bouquet...


I went pretty clean and simple on my card...
~white card base embossed with a Paper Studio scalloped circle folder
~K&Co DP
~CB Swiss Dots embossing folder
~Hydrangea Bouquet image and sentiment from Raisin Boat
~Copic markers
~Fiskars scalloped circle punch
~Paper Studio adhesive pearls

Thanks for stopping by!!!
