I love doing the sketches Priscilla comes up with in her "master mind" and always try to put a few extra fancy touches when I do these challenges. There are great prizes and designer cards to drool over.
I chose to use a Cherry Blossom image that I love and haven't used in awhile. I used the SU Afternoon Tea DSP along with Cameo Coral and Chocolate Chip card stock.
I colored the blossom image with markers using Cameo Coral and Close to Cocoa, sprinkled a couple with dazzling diamonds and added some blush pearls to them. I chalked around the main image using a sponge dauber and choc. chip pastels.
Added a MS butterfly to the corner, a layered and overlapping ribbon treatment, per the sketch, at the bottom, a flower and some pearls set in spacers. I added the ribbon tabs per the sketch to the side of the image and topped with spacers and pearls.
I paper pierced around the dsp and popped up the first panel and the image panel with dimensionals.
I think that about does it. Thanks Priscilla for the wonderful sketch and thank you for taking the time to look. Have a great evening!
EDIT: P.S. The dsp was given to me in a RAK from Wattle-Thanks Kathy. The white silk ribbon and pearls were given to me in a RAK from Anne Ryan-Thanks Annie Girl!!

Ooooh Fruitflake! This is real purdy! You've rocked this one! Love the ribbon flower, the pearls, the colours and that awesome image. Your dsp reminds me that I have most of a pkg of that wonderful Afternoon Tea that I've been hoarding. Still love it - and I may still have troubles actually cutting into it... Glad to see you snuck in that one lonely little flutterby punch. Catch you later DT-VIP-PPakaT3P (DT-VIP of the Punch Pals, a/k/a The Three Punchkateers)!!! Still waiting for my title... J
BTW - I love your 'threadless stitching'

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?
