Made for today's sketch challenge......and congrats on the new grandbaby Roxie! I really attempted to follow Rox's sketch to the letter. I even did the Cuttlebug negative embossing technique that she did. I used versamarker to color flowers and clear embossed and then I brayered the sky. It turned a bit of a weird color as I attempted to use baja breeze-not a good idea So then went over with pixie pink again. For the main image, I applied the color with markers and then spritzed and stamped onto paper. I paper pieced the flowers again for dimension and to take out of box.

I can really see Roxie's influence in this, with the lovely out-of-the-box image and great embossing. I still struggle with that negative embossing technique. Yours looks just beautiful, as does the whole card.

I think your brayering is lovely. It looks like the evening sky to me. Pretty colors in the rest of your card too. You did an A++ job on today's challenge!
