Color Throwdown 277 and Freshly Made Sketches 121

I must admit this a re-do of a card that I was going to submit to these challenges.  The first one had embossing paste that I had colored blue and used this same stencil by Studio Calico.  It was a bit messy looking and my in-house critic (my daughter) turned her nose up to it.  I took the hint and refined it.  I must say, this is much cleaner, nicer.  I hope you like it.

I chose these colors from Color Throwdown 277.  Such sweet colors.  I am not usually a pastel person, but I can try.  I am always up for the challenge.

Freshly Made Sketches is a favorite of mine.  I love the clean lines, which is really my style.  Not to say that I don't venture out to collage and on a rare occasion Shabby Chic. 

This being my 4th post today, I am saying it's my last one.  I have had a fantastic day off playing, but must get some stuff done.  (I have Bunco tonight!  How fun is that?)

Thanks for stopping by!    Traci
