 For my card I am using the Verve WCMD kick off Sketch Challenge.  I am using two of the newly released plain janes.  Square Medallion PJ and So Sweet PJ.  I am also using Verve's Cut Above Pennant Trim, Arrow, Ribbon Banner, Lovely Marquee, Charming Oval and I Heart U (heart) die sets. 
For my card I am using some Fancy Pants The Good Life designer papers.  I really thought the Square Medallion PJ would look fun colored the same hues as the fun paper I used on the left panel of the card.  I stamped the Medallion with some Memento black ink.  I colored with copics.  I then added the Ribbon Banner detailing down the middle of the card.  I used one of the Pennant Trim die banner pieces along with two upside down Arrows for the three tiny banners strips coming down center.  I used the heart die from the I Heart U die set popped in the center of the colorful Medallion.  I finished with a Charming Oval tag topped with a seam binding bow.   


As always thanks so much for stopping by!  Enjoy the hop!  Next up is the super talented Jen T.'s Blog!
