Happy Canada Day!

Now onto this weeks sketch from Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge! Wow we are up to #62 already and if you are not aware they have put up the call for those who would like to join us on the Design Team. I hope you consider applying, it really is a lot of fun.
For this weeks challenge I decided to try something a little different, NO patterned paper... typically I choose one of CTMH's lovely paper packets and create using it but this week I decided to use only Colonial White Cardstock and Kraft Paper.
Other products that I used for this card are the Pick a Posey Stamp Set and the 4 My Friend Stamp Set which is long retired but still one of my favorite "go to" stamp sets for sentiments. I did see several sentiment stamp sets in the new Annual Idea Book (available August 1st) that looked promising. For the stamping and sponge distressing I used Close To My Hearts Exclusive Inks® Stamp Pads in Sorbet, Sunset, Buttercup (which is retiring!) and Sweet Leaf.
To give my Kraft paper some character I used the Edge Distresser to really "chew up" the edges of the paper and then I carefully crumpled up the kraft paper to give it the worn, weathered look that you can hopefully see in the photo. I think it gives a great background for my pretty flowers.
Thank you for stopping by and I truly appreciate your comments. Follow the

I hope you get inspired and decide to come play along! We would love
to see what you create and you might get voted as one of the top 3 cards of the week!
Happy Crafting!
This turned out really lovely. I like how you used the Kraft and Colonial White CS. Great job!
