SOU card sketch & KIUP sketch for August

Hello there,  I hope this finds you all well...

The latest card sketch for Stuck on U  is this one....

which is so cute... and a good reason for me to attempt to do a card... I hope one day I shall be good at them... haha!! and my card looks like this....


I actually embossed the background and used a die from Cherry Lynn for the lattice and my favourite oldest punch the retro daisy for the flowers... Marianne butterfly dies, MS punch and some liquid pearls... and thanks to the girls from SOUS who left me such encouraging comments on my last card too!!

and I have created a layout for the Kraft it up august challenge which is to use a sketch which I have used like this...






I got a new mask which I just had to try out...(with texture paste of course!!)

A sweet moment...



I have used old papers and the older style petaloo and kaiser flowers.. MS punch, washi tape and stamped around the edge of the layout... (Thanks to the fabulous RACHEL for your reminder to get out the stamps and USE them... you can check out her stunning layout HERE...)

Thanks for coming by and I really appreciate all the comments you leave me.. I am so uplifted by them... I hope you enjoy the rest of your day!!
