    Hello Friends   I am back today with another card I made for a sketch over at the Unity Facebook page. Normally I am not really into sketches I usually like to do my own thing.  But I wanted to play along with this one.   I used two stamps on this card the first is  Newspaper Posies  and the sentiment is from Empowered Words.   I kept this card pretty clean and simple.  I just followed the sketch and used kraft, black & white card.  I paper pieced the flowers then added some turquoise rhinestones for a splash of colour.  Then I tied some ribbon and twine to finish.   Thanks so much for stopping by today!   Mandi xox
