Thank You Card - Mojo Monday 325

Things have certainly gotten better with my parents. I was able to talk to them for a few minutes on the phone yesterday. It turns out my dad has a cold and my mom has the flu. They are slowly starting to get better and we have made a date to get together on Sunday to have our Christmas. I hope they continue to get better.

The card I have to show you today was inspired by the sketch over at Mojo Monday. I liked their sketch and I REALLY liked how my card turned out!!! 

I hope you all have a great weekend! 

I even decorated the inside of my card a little!!!

Dahlia Thinking of You

When I seen Freshly Made Sketches this week I was stumped for a while. While sleeping last night a Polaroid flashed in my head, and I thought it would work great for their sketch. Looking at their sketch now I see I went fairly out of the box but I still think it fits the sketch enough to submit my card for their challenge. 

I also combined their sketch with Friday's Mashup's challenge of making a Sympathy or Thinking of you Card.

I am been very drawn to the Dahlia Stamp. I hope you like it because I think you will be seeing it a lot more in the next year (or longer, if Stampin' Up doesn't retire it).

To make the Polaroid I cut my Basic Black to 3-1/4" X 3-5/8". I used a square framelit to cut out the centre. My Whisper White cardstock is cut to 3-1/4" X 3-1/4" and glued behind the Polaroid. 

The sentiment was powder embossed using Versamark ink and Whisper White Embossing Powder melted with Stampin' Up's Heat Tool.

Third week using Freshly Made Sketches FMS102

So far so good. I am keeping up with my goal!!! This is the third week I have completed a card for Freshly Made Sketches (although last week I late posting my card). Cindy's sketch is fantastic and super easy to use. It seems the more I use sketches the easier cards are coming to me. I am super proud to call a card my own. I am slowly getting away from copying others cards to creating my own and that feels fantastic!!! I must be in love with Chalk Talk framelits because I keep going back to that them no matter what the card. 

I knew I really wanted to use my newest stampset Regarding Dahlias. I love this flower and I am sure you will see a lot more of this stampset over the next year. 

I couldn't decided which embossing folder I liked more so I made two exact cards but changed the sentiment and embossing folder. I am hoping you can tell me which card you like more.

Here is Freshly Made Sketches card sketch for this week and my cards.
