Happy Friday Stampers!

Well I am going to spend most of the day in the craft room.  I have to take advantage when Zoie is not here for my creating and Friday’s she goes to the day care.  I am hoping to get quite a few things done.  Wish me luck!

My card today began with the color challenge at Utah Divas International.  I loved their colors.

 

After I had my colors, I went looking for a sketch.  I loved the simplicity of the Freshly Made Sketches one for this week.     

 
 
I have been wanting to try an idea I had for the background.  I tried my idea on a large piece of cardstock.  My original idea did not work so I decided to try another idea.  I was pleased to say my second idea worked.  I need to play with it some more to make sure it works every time.  Here is my creation.

 I realized as I was posting this that I needed to add a candy dot for the birds eye.  I will have to add that before I send it.
Thanks for visiting me today.  I will miss this set as it is retiring at the end of the month.  Have a Fabulous Friday!
