I used CPS Sketch #225 for this card. I colored the stamp with markers, which I rarely do, and used some scraps from my very large patterned paper stash! This was a very nice sketch to work with. Thanks for visiting!

- Stamp – “For You” by Northwoods Rubber Stamps
- Die cut – Spellbinders Nestabilities “Fancy Tags”
- Patterned paper – Chatterbox
- Flowers & Leaves – Prima
- Rhinestones – Kaisercraft
- Cardstock – Bazzill
This card is based on the current sketch at Card Positioning Systems (CPS): Sketch #212. My interpretation is a little bit different, since it was supposed to feature banners strung across it. But I kept seeing flowers with the leaves hanging down (sort of like banners).
