Last night I started a card using this fun sketch from Card Patterns but tired out before I could finished it. I was able to finish it this morning since I was up at 4am. I hate that I can't sleep these last few days that I actually can, but what can you do? I think this baby girl is already getting me on a schedule to wake up every 2 hours and I'm helpless to stop her. lol Anyway... I pulled the colors from an old colourQ challenge and used a few of my new goodies to make this one.
I'm still figuring out my new Summer Silhouettes stamp set. I'm thinking it might be one I should have bought in wood. I tried to eyeball the little turquoise flowers and didn't get them where I wanted them. I should know by now that I need my Stamp-a-ma-jig for everything or else I'll not be happy with how it turns out! Close is only good in horseshoes, NOT stamping. :) I paired it with an awesome new butterfly from Papillon Potpourri and a neutral gray button. Pretty simple card, but a fun one for summer I think!

I'm a fanatic about placement so I'm sure my stamp-a-ma-jig hates me! I love the mix of texture and dots on this card and the flowers are beautiful. That stamp set is already on my next order so I'm filing this one away to CASE later!!
