Card Patterns Sketch #3 and a Giveaway!

I just LOVE Michelle's sketches because they are not so complicated that you can't take them and run with them creatively and really turn it into something individual and special.  I'm having so much fun with Card Patterns! 

Below is my card.  Check out the Card Pattern's blog here to see the other amazing cards by the rest of the DT and the Guest Designer AND to check out the PRIZE  you can win by playing along with us this week.  I {Heart} Papers has graciously offered a prize to the winner of this week's sketch challenge. 

Speaking of being selected as a Guest Designer....Hanneke Van Dalen was selected as the Guest Designer to play along with us for this week's sketch.  You can check out her AMAZING talent HERE on her blog.

Make sure you play along this week for YOUR chance to be selected as a Guest Designer and also for a chance to win the prize from I {Heart} Papers.  It is two separate contests, one for your card to be selected as winner and a spot as a Guest Designer and one through a random drawing to win the prize bein offered.  I would really love for one of my readers to earn this opportunity.  That would be so fun!!  I know you all have lots of talent, so let's see it!!!!  :)

I made this card fairly quickly.  The Pink Flamingo DSP that is new from SU! made choosing the colors easy.  I stamped the En Francais background stamp onto a large Paper Pretties kit flower in Real Red.  I have seen smaller flowers with script writing on them in craft stores and thought I would make my own.  Hope you like it!!!!

All supplies are SU! unless otherwise noted.

    Marie, I just have to say that your card is seamless! Very adorable! The PP are cut out perfectly & placed on your cardstock with equal spaces - wow! I can't do that. I love the folded ribbon and huge flower. You rock girl, I'm proud of you!

    Pretty card! I love how you did that ribbon! Did it come like that or did you glue it like that? I'm curious...

    Great card and I love how you used the bold bright patterned paper...I'm a little scared when it comes to something so bold, I will have to try it (soon!).
