WOW - When I saw this sketch I thought I'd be coming up with something soft and feminine! I also thought I'd have heaps of time to get it done - nice and leisurely!!! It's such a gorgeous sketch I'm just going to have to find the time to re-do my card! Or start another one completely!!! I came home from work a bit early today and thought I'd do some stamping. I have been soo busy with visitors and the SCS Bushfire Fundraiser that I haven't had much chance to "play" lately. When I checked out when this sketch was due I realised I was cutting it fine!! It's now Tuesday afternoon my time and the challenge closes at 7pm Monday US time - not sure how my time equates but - aaaagh - off I raced! Unfortunately I had a masculine card I needed to make so I tried to work this challenge with some left over CS from the last Kristina Challenge that I hadn't put away - not sure if I'm happy with the result! I think the Regal Rose is a bit too "pink"! Guess I need to make another masculine card too - LOL. Ah well - need to stamp more to keep my skills up!!! The metallic strip is some metallic tape I trimmed, scalloped and embossed. If you try this you do need to keep the backing tape on otherwise the tape is too soft to hold the embossing. I also think I'm a bit too literal when it comes to sketch challenges - I need to adopt the sketch as my own and not try to stick to it too closely - live and learn!
CS - Pumpkin Pie, Chocolate Chip, Brocade Blue and Regal Rose
SU - Felt Fusion Flowers and Botannical Blooms stamp set

WOW Deb, Firstly the colours are amazing together, they feel really warm....lol, if colours can do that to someone. And I love how you have stamped and then used your little green machine, so effective. I can't wait to get mine! It's ok my hubby will still let me have something to do with you, hehe, he was impressed at the bargain price you had found on a site for them!

I LOVE IT! You did a great job bring a bit of paper beauty into our daily lives Debbie! When it comes to sketch challenges, I do the same thing and don't branch off to make the card my own... I feel the challenge police will be out so charge me with 'unlawful cooperation'... he! :)
I have a hard time following a sketch to a t, so I always stray from them..
Luv the colours..
