CR84FN24

I thought I would share the card I made this weekend for the newest CR84FN color challenge.  I love these soft pastel colors and I wanted to use more pattern paper! 



I wanted to also use my new Paper Smooches sentiment stamp set here.  I am in LOVE with this set!!  You will be seeing more of this for sure!  Please don't peek too close as I did a bit of sewing on this to shabby it up a little.  I say this as I had a very brief inservice during my Stamping Away weekend on how to sew using an ancient sewing machine I picked up for cheap.  So this was my first attempt on a card!  Yay!  Thanks Jen and Eva for being patient with me and showing me a few things!




Here's this week's inspiration photo and color scheme from CR84FN!  Thanks for stopping by today!
