Colorful Sketch for 2 Challenges

I started working on this card yesterday but I've had a young bull moose in my yard the past several days and what can I say, he has had my attention more than the stamping, LOL. My husband says I need a moose-intervention, hehehehhe :)

I did put the camera down for a bit this morning to finish this card. I played along with the The Paper Players, which was a color challenge(Poppy Parade, Soft Suede, Pool Party and Very Vanilla) and with Freshly Made Sketches, which is a sketch (duh LOL).

As soon as I saw the colors for the challenge I thought about the Spice Cake DSP and I used the Poppy Parade as an accent color. To give it a little extra pop I embossed it with the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder. I also added paper piercing around the sketch for a little more emphasis.

Lots of great cards at both sites, go check them out!


Supplies used(all supplies SU unless otherwise noted):
Stamps: Precious Butterflies
Paper: Soft Suede, Poppy Parade, Very Vanilla, Pool Party, Spice Cake DSP
Ink: Poppy Parade, Soft Suede
Accessories: Swiss Dots Cuttlebug Embossing Folder, Cuttlebug, Embosslits Beautiful Wings, Pearls, Paper Piercing Tool, dimensionals, sponge

The young bull moose that has been hanging around our yard since the weekend. I've nicknamed him Bobby the Bull Moose.
