Pocket Sketch Challenge #4: Rose Garden Thinlit Birthday Card

The kids are back to school and it feels good to be back to our regular schedule! Here's a quick update on the new Sketch Book.

• Thank you to everyone who ordered in December! If you ordered $40 or more, you are getting the Sketch Book for free! I am sending out the last couple books out today.
• I received three "No Contact" orders in December. If you placed an order and haven't heard from me, please send me a note so I can get you your free Sketch Book! When you opt out of contact from your demonstrator, I don't even see your name attached to your order.
• I will post the Pocket Full of Sketches Book #2 for sale on my blog starting next Friday, January 15th. The cost will be $9.95 plus $3 for First Class shipping in the United States.
• I will continue with the weekly Sketch Challenges and giving away a free book each week.

Thank you so much to everyone who participated in the last Pocket Sketch Challenge! It was hard to pick one favorite, but I had to go with Diana's Lovely as a Tree card. Diana will receive the Pocket Full of Sketches #2 book for for free!

It's time for another chance to win! I have a new sketch and a new challenge for you this week. And once again, I had fun playing with new products and made a new card just so I could show off some brand new products from the Occasions Catalog.

I used die cut the flower and leaves with the Rose Garden Thinlit dies and used Fine Tip Gun to adhere them to scraps of lighter cardstock. Then I freehand cut around the die shape to remove the excess lighter cardstock.
 
Stampin' Up! Supplies: Rose Wonder stamp set, Calypso Coral ink & cardstock, Blushing Bride cardstock, Old Olive cardstock, Pear Pizzazz cardstock, Whisper White cardstock, Perfectly Artistic Designer Paper (SAB #141021), Rose Garden Thinlits, Fine Tip Glue Pen

Play along for your chance to win a free Pocket Full of Sketches #2 Book. Here's this week's layout:

You can use the layout to inspire you, but if you would like the convenience to using the same cutting measurements that I did, you'll need the following pieces (colors refer to my card above for reference):

• 4-1/4" x 11" Calypso Coral cardstock
• 3-1/4" x 4-1/4" Whisper White cardstock
• 2-3/4" x 2-3/4" Designer paper
  

Now it's your turn! Create a card or project inspired by this layout and add a direct link to your post below. Be sure to share my sketch challenge graphic and link back to this post so your friends know how to play along too! Link up by next Tuesday, January 5, 2016 at 11:55 pm. I'll select my favorite entry and that person will win a free copy of the Pocket Full of Sketches #2 book!
