I haven't used this set in a while. I just HAD to have it then didn't every use it. Typical. So I thought 'why not' and tried it with this card sketch challenge. I inked the stamp in chocolate chip and stamped it on naturals white. I colored in with so saffron, ruby red and apricot appeal. The card base is purely pomegranate. The panels are all layered with chocolate chip and apricot appeal. The middle panel has a layer of a designer paper by My Minds Eye. I just got it at Archivers and in real life it has beautiful tones of peach, ruby and greens which is why I chose it. I hate you can't see it well in pictures.
I also don't know if you can see that I used liquid glass in the center of the flowers. I used a little bit of apricot appeal ribbon and buttons. Everything is heavily distressed with scissors, a sponge and chocolate chip ink.

Beautiful job - love your coloring for that stamp! And I know what you mean about those sets that you HAVE to have, and then...... oh, well! It happens to all of us

I'm like you - had to have this set and haven't used it but your card has inspired me to dig it out and ink it up. I really like what you have done with the sketch challenge - everything looks just great.
Cheers!
