I hope you had a wonderful Christmas.  Hard to believe that 2017 is coming to an end.  I am ready to welcome in a new year.  Love all the potential and possibilities.  

Today we have a sketch for the Create with Connie Thursday Challenge.  

I used the Petal Palette bundle (Petal Palette stamp set and the Petals & More Thinlits) which is in the soon to be released  Occasions Catalog.  The Petal Passion DSP is also part of the suite of products.  I think the Petal Passion Suite is simply fabulous.  I love every single item in the suite.  I think you will too.

Here's the sketch for this week CCMC#490.

I colored the roses using Stampin' Blends.  The flowers are covered with a layer of Wink of Stella.  It is hard to capture the shimmer of Wink of Stella which is unfortunate because it is so pretty. 

Be sure to check out what the other designers made for the challenge.  I know you will be inspired.
