Sending You Cheer...CR84FN58

Hi there! Hope you are all having a great weekend! It's time for an all new CR84FN Color Challenge! Thanks to all who joined along with CR84FN 57 ~ so much eye candy to see! Before we get to this week's color combo, I would like to introduce you to our talented July Guest Designer: Monika Davis. Monika's beautiful work may be found on her blog: M.A.D. Stamper. For nearly the next two weeks, we will be playing along with the fun color combination shown below:
I combined some of my favorite products to create this card. I pulled out various patterned papers from the Pink Paislee Prairie Hill collection
and the darling Die-namics Fly a Kite die. The sentiment is from the Die-namics Christmas Ornaments Die & Stamp Set. I added a few little pearls to fancy up the bows on the kite.
For sketch inspiration, I played along with the sketch challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches:
Thanks so much for visiting! Please be sure to visit the CR84FN site for complete information, the entire CR84FN DT for some amazing inspiration: Monika Davis (July Guest Designer), Heather Jensen, Sue Lelli, Andrea Mathews, Pauline Pollington, Shannon
