Thanks For Everything! Make It Monday and a Retro Sketch




I am playing along with this week's  Papertrey's  Make It Monday Challenge.  This week's challenge is Water Splats.  

I combined three colors: pure poppy, orange jest, and harvest gold then added the water splats.    I sort of got carried away with the splats.  LOL!  It was fun to sort of make a mess and be creative at the same time.   I used  the Wet Paint stamp set for the sentiment.   I used Background Basics:  Inspiration stamp set in pure poppy behind the focal panel.    I used MFT Blueprints 12.   I finished with the little tab and harvest gold button threaded with some red/white thread.   

I combined this challenge with this week's Retro Sketches.  Love this CAS design.   This is a 4.5 squared card.

As always thanks so much for stopping by!
