I know I have been a little quiet this week, I am off on the Stampin Up cruise on Friday and am busy here tying up loose ends and making sure that everything is completed and organised whilst I am away.  First on my list was to make the cards for the Stamping&Blogging sketch challenges whilst I am away and you may be pleased to hear that I have got them all made, photographed and loaded ready to post!!!

I really enjoyed giving the Friendship Preserves stamp set an outing this week.  I so love the retro feel of the font and love the colour combo I used too!

I used the gorgeous Fresh Prints Paper stack for the front and teamed it with Bermuda Bay cardstock and Crushed Curry Ink and Chevron ribbon.  It opens at the centre and here is the tiny flower detail which bring it all together…

Here is the starting point for the card, the weekly sketch from Stamping&Blogging
