Sunday Sketches Plentiful Plants Stamp Set

Sunday Sketches Plentiful Plants Stamp Set is this weeks share. Each Sunday I create a card using a card sketch or sometimes called a template. You can design the card exactly like the sketch or change it up a bit. My card today is almost and exactly like the sketch except I didn’t use a ribbon around the card front.

He’s the Man is the designer paper I used today. While I am not fond of the name I love the designs in this paper. My Dad was mechanic and I spent lots of time with him looking over the engine of a car. I think that is why the antique cars speak to me. While one side contains images the other side is filled with pattern.

I mixed and matches two of the patterns in this card pairing it with the Plentiful Plants Stamp Set. Since I can’t keep a “real” plant alive I love playing with this set and coordinating Perfect Plant Dies. And the Cajun Craze, Early Espresso and Garden Green are right up my wheel house.
