Thank You Card for a Freshly Made Sketch

A new month and a lot going on! I haven't posted lately because of some major life events. Our family friend, Greg, passed away last week after a courageous battle with cancer. He only lived a way too short 15 years but they were filled with sassiness and fun and he'll be dearly missed!
And on a personal note, I've taken on a new part time job. While I'll be working at home, I hope to be able to post more regularly. We'll see!?!

For this thank you I used the SAB DSP, Sweet Sorbet and the Petite Pairs and Label Love stamp sets. I also used the Freshly Made Sketch#121 here.

Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Label Love and Petite Pairs
Papers: WW, Crisp Cantaloupe, Sweet Sorbet DSP
Inks: Crisp Cantaloupe and Basic Black
Accessories: Artisan Label punch, 1 inch Circle punch, Boho Blossoms punch, Subtles Candy Dots, Stampin dimensionals, 3/8 inch Summer Starfruit stitched satin ribbon, Squares Framelits
