Inspired by an older sketch from Cardabilities

 A couple of days ago a post came up on my gmail - with a pin that was saved from my Sketches I like board on Pinterest- and I thought I needed to try this one..

I decided to try it as a mini slimline card - and did NO stamping!

I used a Pretty Pink Posh scalloped edged die to cut each side of my centre panel.  Used some patterned paper from a My Mind's Eye - Lost & Found Blush pad.  I die cut a variety of leaves and branches from vellum (die by Altenew, CP Designs) and the circle with a Gina K Master Layouts 3 die.  The sentiment is a pre-printed one from Taylored Expressions.  I used another die from the GK ML3 set to get the fish tail end.  I used some scrap red card to cut the Poppy Stamps Grosgrain bow.  Finished with some enamel dots (Altenew Red Cosmos set) 

I will have to try it as a US-A2 card as well.  It's a fun sketch. 

Glad it's the end of the week... 'cause I got a visit from the Princess.  Her Dad often picks her up on a Friday and stops off at our place on their way home.   I was a bit late getting home from work today.... I got called in as one of our "shift" is a household contact with her son and husband COIVD positive.  She has to isolate for 7 days - luckily our shift is working from home next week.   But for me it was my last day working in the shift as I've been appointed to an new team at work - where we are ring fenced to just working on the property project...an exciting change for me and it's going to be a new challenge.  More working home I expect.  We are having our first virtual get together on Monday... the team is made up of staff from 4 different sites

Take care out there everyone
