I'll probably embellish this some more but this is it for now! I couldn't resist this sketch so I made this card while waiting for my caffeine to kick in. I've got some painting that I need to do but don't want to start. LOL. This is a great sketch so I'll probably make some more. These super cute papers came from the same paper pad which I recently purchased from Amazon. Its Doodle Bug "Spring Things". I didn't think I could use this paper with the jars, but I managed to include it in this card. I even used the sentiment strips. I followed the sketch, then added some inking using Wild Honey Distress Oxide ink and Sahara Sand. I think the circle looked better without ink, but you can't remove it. I added Sahara Sand to the bottom corners. Finally I found three coordinating buttons. Like I said, I think I'll add some more to the circle later on. Thanks for Looking!

I really love this card! I am not a patterned paper type person (though you wouldn't know it by my collection) but this card is so perfect in its mix of colors and shapes! I wouldn't change a thing. You've inspired me to get out that paper I've been hoarding.

Thanks everyone! I actually had to flip the sketch. I didn't intend to, but the circle is the other side of the bee paper and the way I cut it made the bees upside down. So I flipped the papers. Hard to visualize. I'm still stumped on how to finish embellishing it. On the other hand, I did finish painting my windows! That job is done.
