Paper Smooches SPARKS January Designer Drafts

Hello, friends:}

Today we start another weekly challenge over at Paper Smooches SPARKS blog!! This week we are sharing a DESIGNER DRAFT challenge. 

This week we are inspired by the following sketch:

**Sentiments can be placed anywhere on the sketch.

I kind of went my own direction for this sketch- I know that doesn't really shock you! LOL! 
I used an ampersand instead of a circle... I did add some "circles" with some random string...and I moved the sentiment onto the strip. Oh- and I made this card vertical but used the horizontal sketch! SOOOOOOOO.... I would say that I've followed this sketch about 87%! 

That being said... I loooooooove this card! I LOVE the papers which are by American Crafts Polka Dot Party (and the Dear Lizzy project life coordinating pack). I used just a few Paper Smooches stamps including Squeaky Clean and the NEW Kissables 1 sets. I also die cut some images from the PS Documented set. LOVE x100000! My favorite parts of this card include the embossed vellum die cut ampersand, the Wink of Stella on the die cut heart, the gold brad and gold embossing powder (LOVE!), and the glossy accents on the die cut "us"- it's the perfect touch! I just LOVE this card!
