VC Rocks! Blog Hop

To start at the beginning, you'll need to go to the VC Rocks page.

Your next stop will be Life's Randomness.

For my friends who may not know: VC stands for Virtual Celebration of everything Stampin' Up!  And that's why I joined:  love of SU products.  Isn't that the first step to any addiction: join a group?  Only in normal step programs I imagine it is not to assist you in your addiction. :)

Our challenge this month was to feature retiring colors or summer mini items.

For my card I used:
Ruby Red cardstock for base & a 2.5x2.5 square to back stamp square
Close to Cocoa cardstock cut to 5.25x3.75
Mellow Moss cardstock cut to 1.5x3.5
Very Vanilla (not retiring) cardstock cut to 5.25x4ish & a 2.25x2.25 square for stamp
Ruby Red ribbon wrapped around assembled MM, C2C & VV
Stamp set used:  Country Morning - colored with Watercolor Wonder Crayons & Blender pen; Flower Soft in Sweet Pea for flowers

I used this sketch from Sketch Saturday from a couple weeks ago:

And now my card.....
 This is a somewhat closeup of the Flower Soft:
 This is without Flower Soft, colored with WWC & Blender pen:

And yes..I noticed I missed the flower no the ground.  Only after making this post.  :(
Hope you enjoy your hop.  Have a great weekend!
