Alternate Monday Stampin' Up! Wishing You Well and Country Lane

Hi Stampers, It’s Alternate Monday day. That means I am sharing a card taken from the blog hop that I participate in each Thursday. I am taking either the sketch or color challenge and making a second card that is close to or similar to the posted card from the hop. I want to inspire you to get different looks for your card by mixing it up a bit by color and design. Today I used the same layout, with a twist and changed the colors to give the card an “Alternate” look.

Stampin’ Up! Wishing You Well and Country Lane:

Here is the card recipe:

Card base: Old Olive 4-1/4 x 11, scored at 5-1/2

Mat: Blackberry Bliss 3-1/8 x 3-1/8

Art piece: Whisper White 3 x 3
