Today I'm having a date with the Paper Smooches SPARKS challenge! It's a sketch this week, and when I first saw it, I kind of gave it a "meh"! And it got that meh for one reason, and one reason only. The banners! I've never been a big fan. They've grown on me a bit, until today, when I saw this WOW card by Geri, and they grew on my a lot! I gave them a whole new chance. And so I got busy on the SPARKS challenge, banners and all! I honestly think this is the very first time I've ever put banners onto a card - and you know what, I'm glad I did!! I kind of liked how they turned out!!
Here's the sketch:
And my card:
Believe it or not, I think I've used five PS sets on this card. I know, it doesn't look like it, but they're there!
Hope you like it, and I hope all of my fellow Canadian friends enjoy the Victoria Day loooong weekend!!!
Thanks for checking in, I really love it when you do!
