This card is the second iteration that I made with this sketch. The first one was so boring I couldn't bring myself to post it. So despite it being the Nth hour I crawled back into my craft cave on Tuesday night when I got home from work to see if I could come up with something better. I started perusing cards that I had made for a now-defunct sketch challenge and found one that I could use to CASE myself. Using a few of the colors from Sunday Stamps this is what I came up with. It's been a long time since I've used a button on a card but sometimes I love that old school look!
I was pretty late getting this card made partly because I am obsessed with watching Jeopardy before I head up into my stamp room. Please tell me I'm not the only one who is in total awe of the current champion! Every night watching that show is like watching the Super Bowl! It's exciting and sometimes nerve-wracking but certainly entertaining. Too bad I have to schedule my crafty-time around the show's schedule! 😆

Wow, you've made our colors sing, Jen! Love the look of this layout, your little details really pop! Thanks so much for playing at Sunday Stamps!
So crisp and fun, Jen! I love buttons too (been too long since I pulled one out), and I love all the texture you added to your card. Thanks for joining Sunday Stamps this week.
Oh I LOVE the different cardstocks you used on this!! Such a lovely card!!
I love the bold, bright colors and I love the fun elements you've used, from the scallops to the button. And yes, we hadn't watched Jeopardy in years, but now we look forward to it each night. We've been gobsmacked (sounds like a Jeopardy answer,right?!?). :)
This is such a fun card Jen! I just love all the different colours and that big yellow flower! Such a cheery and happy card!
Such fabulous colors!! And I love the hint of texture and the soft vellum leaves.
So many cool elements and colors yet still so wonderfully CAS! Gorgeous card!
WOW! Such a fun way to use all the colors! I love that pretty flower with the button center. So happy you joined us at Sunday Stamps! XX
Jen, your floral arrangement is awesome! Love all the different elements you used -yet left a bunch of white space. Love it all. Thanks for playing along with the color challenge at Sunday Stamps!
I really like this card, Jen, simple and very pretty, could be done with various colors and elements! Buttons are awesome!
