I didn’t think I would have time to make a sample for this weekend’s sketch, but I got up earlier this morning and squeezed some stamping time in.
The card base is a 4 1/4″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock folded in half.
Next comes a 4″ square out of Mellow Moss cardstock, followed by a 3 3/4″ Tempting Turquoise Prints Designer Paper square.
The corners were punched with the ticket corner punch and the edges stamped with All in a Row to create the faux stitched look.
I added 4 Antique Brass brads in the corner of the Mellow Moss Square.
For the circle I stamped the dotted circle from So Much in Brown StazOn on Shimmery White. It was cut out with a circular Nestabilities die cut and watercolor washed with Aqua Painter and Mellow Moss reinker. I stamped Thanks on the lower part of the circle.
Next I stamped the flower from So Much on a piece of Shimmery White with Brown StazOn and colored it in with Aqua Painter and Real Red reinker. Once it was dry, I cut it out and added first an Antique Brass Jumbo Eyelet, then a turquoise Circle Rhinestone brad in the flower center.
The flower was adhered to the circle with dimensionals. It still looked a little blahhhh, so I paper pierced a stem for the flower and added the line with Mellow Moss Marker.
I tied 5/8″ Real Red grosgrain Ribbon around the Mellow Moss/Turquoise layers and mounted my circles over it.

How CUTE is THIS? Love the color combo and all of those layers!
Gorgeous, Beate. I LOVE how the flower pops out of the circle! So sweet!
Great, I miss your lovely creations, and was not sure if we would have a sketch this week.
Love these colors, Beate — this is a perfect card for this set! I really like the flower popping out of the circle — too cute! Thanks for another great sketch!
Love, love, love this card. This is one of my fav color combos. And how that flower curves right on out of the circle…too cute. I always have a blast with your sketches. Thanks so much for providing them to us:)
Have a wonderful weekend.
I so love your sketches and beautiful cards, Beate! This one looks like a lot of fun, and I hope to work on it this weekend. I’m going to be ordering All in a Row because of the work you’ve done with it (you enabler! LOL!)
This is so stinkin cute! I can’t wait to play with this sketch!
Beate this is great!! I love the big ribbon!! I have some, but it still has the celophane wrapper on!!!
You’ve done it again, Beate! Made another beautiful card with such a simple sketch. Hopefully I’ll get to play along as well. Take care and have a great weekend!

This is a gorgeous card. Something about it grabs me in, I think it is the flower on the circle, but probably is the color selection too. Love it!
This is an awesome card – I’m inspired now – and I’ve GOT to have the All in A Row – it hasn’t “spoke” to me before, but seeing you use it in so many cards… now I’ve gotta get it!
Apparently you stamp well under pressure. This is darling.
Freakin’fantastic Beate! LOVE this card! Beautiful!
I’m so glad you were able to squeeze some time in to stamp! I love your pretty card! The colors are so pretty and I love your details and layout. I hope to try the sketch this time, since I missed your last one.
Great card Beate. This is a great sketch to work with. Haven’t tried a circle. Can’t wait to play!
