This sphere is by Jason Schneider, who designs objects and furniture from cardboard - I love this - appeals to my love of patterns and all things geometric! I hope you like it as much as I do!

And now my card:

I had a pretty busy week, but today I found some time to make a card for this week's Paper Smooches challenge. The inspiration picture is below.

I went with the colors, the subtle pattern of the baskets and the center frame and tried to recreate that modern, clean look. Used chalk board technique and heat embossed the sentiments. Other than that I used PP. The flower die cuts are by Papertrey. Added enamel dots.

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes.... Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it.
