A la Mary Engelbreit?

Here's a card for the current CAS(E) this Sketch challenge:


supplies: white, black, and Hero Arts Poppy layering paper, Doodlebug and Little B washi tape, Die-Namics Blueprints 20 cross-stitch die, Winnie & Walter's Big, Bold Friends cutaway, Wplus9 Blanket Stitched Blooms, Hero Arts Punch, Grass, and Butter Bar inks

After assembling my panel following the sketch, I off-set it slightly left on my card base.  Don't these colors and designs remind you of Mary Engelbreit with the reds and black?

Here's the sketch:

That is totally what I thought when I saw this card at first - I used to love buying the $1 notecard sets she had at Michaels for awhile. ;)
I love the die cutting behind those pretty flowers!

Sweet as can be, just like Mary's designs are. :)
