There are cards that just come together easily and those that don't. This card one that did not. I was comedy of miss stamping, not stamping straight and lots of wasted card stock while giggling with friends and being giggled at on video chat, also having a cold did not help me thunking straight. But I am finally happy with how this card turned out. I combined this weeks Color Throwdown #435 and Freshly Made Sketches #280. I having been trying to use more than the Butterfly stamp from In This World stamp set. I used the door stamped in Crushed Curry ink and chair in Peekaboo Peach ink. I coloured both the images with a blender own using the ink. I added some Tempting Turquoise which I scribbled out to get a lighter shade for the windows in the door.
I hand cut out the the chair which caused the most giggle from my friends and adhered it using Stampin' Dimensionals. I apparently pull funny faces while doing this. I took the word 'enjoy' from the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits and die cut it 3 times from Tempting Turquoise card stock in the Big Shot with the Precision Plate and glued them together to make a dimensional sentiment. To finish the card I took my favourite sentiment from the Happy Happenings stamp set, stamped in Island Indigo.

I certainly can't see your struggles in your final card! It's a fabulous combination of elements - the golden door and chair are the perfect accent to the turquoise sentiment. Thank you for playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.
