Sonoma

Before the Sonoma paper pack retired, I had stocked up quite a bit because I had a hard time to part with it and I have been using quite a lot of it.  I love the color combo - purple, green and brown, and I like the patterns on the paper.

When I saw the color challenge at Nacho Average Challenges (the name makes me want to grab some nachos!), I knew immediately that the Sonoma has to be given some love:


I found a CAS sketch at CAS - Colours & Sketches challenge and decided to give it a try:


I made a birthday card and I kept it symmetrical like the original sketch:


Using the Sonoma paper is like visiting an old friend.  I don't think I can stop here.  Let me make another card with it!

  1. Joyce, I love these papers, the rich colours are very warming. The stamping edges you have added is a great addition to the sketch. Thanks for joining us on CAS-Colour and Sketches.
