CAS-ual Fridays October Encouragement Challenge

Hello Blogging Friends!!

Today is the 18th of the month and that means it is the
 start of a new Encouragement Squad Challenge!

Calling All Sistahs October Encouragement Challenge

Why do we have the Encouragement Challenge??  There are a bazillion reasons someone might need a pick me up from going through an illness, relationship woes, working through a big life decision or just feeling a little lonely or unappreciated!  Wouldn't it be nice to have a stash of cards you could send to a friend or loved one who could use a bright spot in their day?  This challenge is here to help you with that!  On the 18th of each month we will start a new challenge with a new inspiration photo.

Here is the Sketch Challenge for October:

Here is my card:

Ingredients:

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Dream Then Do stamp set

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Scallop Tags die

White card stock

Neenah Solar White paper

Black ink

Victorian Velvet distress ink

DL.ART Rose crinkle ribbon from the Vintage Vineyard pack

Pink patterned paper

Pink Sprinkles

For this A2 card I started with white card stock for the base of the card.  I took two pieces of pink patterned paper, inked the edges with Victorian Velvet distress ink and added them to the card overlapping the one of them.  I took some Neenah Solar White paper and the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Dream Then Do stamp set and black ink and stamped the sentiment onto the paper.  I then cut that out with the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Scallop Tags die, inked the edges with Victorian Velvet distress ink.  I took some of the Rose crinkle ribbon and tied a bow on the top of the tag and then I added the tag to the card.  I three pink sprinkles onto the card.
