This card was created for Roxie's Sketch Challenge 240. I picked up this vintage golfer in the clearance bin at Hobby Lobby last week and was thrilled to get the chance to try it out!The golfer was stamped with Versafine Vintage Sepia on Whisper White. The grass was created with images from Honey Bunny by Kitchen Sink Stamps. The golf ball was cut with my circle Nestabilities and dimpled with my Bubbles Cuttlebug embossing folder. The sentiment was also stamped in Vintage Sepia is from Out on a Limb Sentiments by PaperTrey Ink.

Both lovely - but I adore the first one. Love the pleated umbrella - I am going to try that for sure this weekend.
ReplyDeleteLynn these are both fantastic! Awesome pleating for the umbrella, I would have never thought of that. The colors you used for your long desired Sketches set is just perfect and so relaxing. Congrats on finding it in the bst by the way!
