Playing With A Sketch

I am trying to make some thank you notes for a non profit I am involved with so I used the current sketch at Freshly Made Sketches for my card layout. 

I flipped the sketch on its side and my flower represents the strip on the sketch.

 I am also placing it in the challenge at Addicted to Stamps which is Anything Goes.

At Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge the challenge this week is also Anything Goes.

I have been trying to put my crafting area back together.  It had exploded all over my house with lighting and eye issues.  I believe all that has been solved now thanks to cataract surgery and a nice visit from an electrician with new lights and more plug ins.  Oh happy day.  But I digress.  As I am picking up I am finding all these backgrounds I have made.  I am putting them in one box.  I almost have a photo box from Michaels filled with backgrounds.  This is where the pieces came from for this card.  Unfortunately I really have no idea how I made this background - I am thinking it is distress oxides and it has also been dry embossed.  The other pieces are just pieces with a light blue ink on them. 

I have a new floral die and have die cut quite a few of these flowers.  If you look back, you can see a few more cards using this flower on them.

The thank you is from Rubber Necker Stamps.

Thanks for stopping by.  I need to go make another card using backgrounds I have on hand.  I may be busy for a year.
