BYSHC -July Sketch#71 /Card 2

 Hello there!  I'm sharing my second card for Sketch #71. This sketch runs the entire month of July. You can see full details and how to enter this challenge on the blog Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers.  Sketch #71:               

I wanted to use some new patterned papers that I got last Christmas season and haven't had a chance to play with yet.  Very bold and bright.  I fussy cut the focal images from one of the sheets in this 6x6 patterned paper pad.  So easy!  ( I realized after I photographed and edited this card that it didn't have a sentiment, Oopsies! ) Oh well!  LOL

Supplies:
Recollections - Merry Maximus - patterned papers
red/pink shimmer cardstocks
Cocoa & Reno - bow die
Pretty Pink Posh - Scalloped Stitched Circle dies
Star Dust Stickles
Glossy Accents - on candy cane


Thanks for stopping by today.  Come play along with us!
