This is my card for today's sketch challenge. I have not made any new cards for the gallery in weeks, so it is good to be posting again. I used the large floral swirl from Creative Elements, stamped in versamark and embossed in gold. I used cajun craze paper and marker for highlights, something I saw sleeplessinseattle use....I layered that onto more cajun craze after sponging the edges of the three panels, then ran it through the square lattice EF. I used Well Worn DSP, layered on Cajun Craze, then a larger panel of early espresso. I used EE grograin ribbon and the sentiment from For All You Do. This will be my DH's anniversary card....for 12 years of putting up with me. I hope you like it...
Roxie, prayers for your DH...
It was good to play again....thanks for looking!

Wow! LOL...You lost me after the first line of instructions, but I LOVE IT! There's a little rubber stamp that you used to be able to buy to stamp on the back of your handmade cards, "Hallmark wishes their cards were this good." Your card fits that to a T!

Dianne, your card is beautiful. It reminds me of Chinese laquerware with its rich cinnabar color and the sheen. I love the effect of tone on tone that you achieved.
