Happy Thursday my friends.
Today we have a sketch to start the process. I love all the banners we have and that we can make them any size to fit our ideas. Here is the sketch....
I took out the fabulous Hostess set Cozy Cottage and started to play. I wanted a warm and welcoming card and I hope you like it.
The card base is Early Espresso and then I layered the art piece onto Old Olive. The banner cried out Cajun Craze, so I added some of that to the cottage. Here is the full on picture.
I think this could really be a masculine card and we always seem to be looking for one of those. But imagine the colours a little softer and we have something for anyone. Give it a try.
And inside , I kept it simple.
Now off to the rest of the hop.....enjoy and if you would love to add this stamp set to your craft cupboard, give a call and we can make it happen. Invite some friends and you never know what can happen. Stamping is so much fun with others.

Love this card! I have the cottage, but haven't used it yet. Your coloring of it is wonderful. I am envious. What I really like is that you made a horizontal card and still kept with the sketch.
Thanks for the welcome! :-) I enjoyed it and look forward to more Thursdays with you all.
