Blogger Challenge - Two in One

Happy Friday! - The sun is trying to shine today.  Had 85 degree weather on Monday and 50 degree weather with rain yesterday.  What's up with the weather! - Okay you didn't come here to chat about weather did you?  So let's get on with today's Blogger Challenge. - Create Your Own Background Paper.

First off for my card today I've combined this weeks challenge along with last weeks Sketch challenge which I missed.  It was a hectic week last week with my mom in the hospital for a couple of days, celebrating my 20th Wedding Anniversary and just trying to keep up with normal life.  Since I wasn't able to post I thought I just use the sketch for this weeks challenge as a starting point.

Here is the Sketch from last week:













Here is my card:
For this card I used Backgrounds by Design3 from AnnaBelle Stamps to create both the patterned background on this card.  I also used the stamp set, All Things Grow for the focal panel.  The sentiment was computered generated.
Card Stock: Chocolate Chip and Whisper White (SU)
Amuse Studio - Latte
Inks: Latte and French Roast-Amuse Studio
Punch: Martha Stewart
Pearls - AnnaBelle Stamps

I'll be sending this to a man recovering from surgery, I think it has a great masculine feel don't you?

Join in on the fun and post a link to your card:
