Peachy Keen

  Peach Parfait is not typically the color I reach for (um, that would be PINK!), but it worked for me here.  Based on Freshly Made Sketches #40, I started with an ivory base (Gina K pure luxury cardstock), SU Sunny Garden designer paper matted in Peach Parfait and wrapped with a Certainly Celery ribbon.  Then I used Nestabilities dies (oval and lacey oval) for the focal image, stamped with Gina K's One in a Million and Petals and Wings (sentiment) stamps.  Instead of putting the sentiment on the banners (SU Bitty Banners) in the lower left, I put a butterfly from the SU butterfly embosslit and embellished with ivory pearls.

  This is the sketch:


  

And, I have to say, while I don't really leave a lot of comments on blogs or expect comments on mine,when the gals from Freshly Made Sketches left comments on my last cards,  it did make me smile!     A very nice group to play along with!   Thanks, Ladies!
