Made this card for a sketch challenge at: http://priscillastyles.blogspot.com/ Had fun with it.
Ended up using several punches as I broke my Cuttlebug C plate when trying to do a die cut. I knew not to keep trying to run it through but you know how it is..can't seem to stop sometimes until you hear that terrible CRACK. Then, you STOP until you run out and get another one. Shame on me!
Stamped, colored and popped up the small turtle.
Added a few punched rock ferns.

Brenda: How cool that you entered to the challenge contest!!! Good luck to you!!! LOVE your turtles and that b/g paper is cool!!! Love the leaves tucked in there too! Oh, your story about the CB is so funny as I know exactly what you mean about that feeling you should stop, but you don't, then the "crack sounds" comes!!! I've done pretty good. Just broke my 1st plate a month ago. I was in a panic! Keep on posting Brenda! TFS!

This is beautiful! Love your take on the sketch!! I can totally relate to your cuttlebug story. I am working with 1/2 a C plate because mine split in 1/2.

What cute card. I love you Cuttlebug story. I have extra A & B plates but the stores here don't sell the C plate. I ordered some Nestabilities recently and totally forgot to order a couple of C plates. Hopefully next time I order online I will remember before a disaster happens. 'Cause I know I will break one sooner or later. Thanks so very much for playing in the MMSC1.

So cute - especially the adorable critters.
Sorry about the C plate. I have broken a "B" and used pieces until they were only an inch or two long and impossible to use. Guess I should get and extra "C" - I bought a package of B's when a small store was going out of business- they are still sealed!
