The Pals Paper Arts has a sketch challenge this week, here is the card I made.
To follow the sketch I stamped the beautiful Stampin Up! background stamp Hardwood with Versa Mark ink and heat embossed it with Copper Embossing Powder, cut the strips and added some Candy Dots. I wanted to make a little sign to "hang" on the fence so I stamped the sentiment from the Wilderness Awaits set and ripped the paper, punched a couple of little holes and grabbed some thread to hang it.
This is the sketch that inspired this card.
Thank you so much for visiting and for your comments, I read each and every word. If you have a question about this card please don't hesitate to ask.Have a wonderful weekend.
Maria.
Paper: Canson water color paper, CS from my stash.
Inks: Stazon Jet Black, SU write markers in Garden Green, Old Olive, River Rock, Sahara Sand, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Chocolate Chip and Soft Suede.

Its the details that you add to your cards that make them so appealing, such as the copper embossing on the Hardwood stamp, the little sign and the gorgeous coloration of the mallard duck.
