Card Sketch Challenge #1: Color Theory Designer Series Paper Stack

One of my favorite ways to inspire new creativity is to start with a great card sketch.  Today’s Rose Garden Thinking of You card and sketch share a very simple way to do a beautiful card with plenty of WOW! using the new Color Theory Designer Series Paper Stack in Berry Burst.  






I cut out the rose using the Rose Garden Thinlits Dies in three different cardstock in-colors to create this rose.... Fresh Fig, Berry Burst and Powder Pink.
