Just in the nick of time before the deadline, here’s my card for this week’s sketch challenge at Card Positioning Systems.  Their sponsor this week is Lawn Fawn, a stamp company I recently discovered.  Lawn Fawn offers some totally adorable images, and I decided to use them for my CPS card.

I wanted to make this a kind of boyish card for Operation Write Home.  I originally planned to use some brighter colors.  I have some red buttons I wanted to use, but I was having a hard time finding patterned papers that coordinated well with them.  On a desperate whim, I pulled out the Kioshi paper pad to try to find some masculine papers.  I liked the way these patterned papers worked together and I had buttons that coordinated with them. So I figured I’d go with this color scheme instead.  The striped paper is kind of a cheat on going masculine because the other half of that sheet of paper has a large spray of flowers!
