Since I didn't have a chance to do the Color Challenge yesterday, I'm combining it with the Sketch Challenge today. When I started out, I wasn't sure I would be able to work these colors but I found one piece of a sand card stock which is a dead ringer for the sahara sand.
I white heat embossed the flowers & greeting on the sand c/s. On the flowers, I used Prismacolor pencils to add the other 2 colors...wasabi & pink. For the sketch, I turned the square to better fit & the die cut border serves as my long horizontal panel.
After I die cut the sand card stock, I colored a narrow strip w/ a pink pencil & attached it behind the cut out to act as the ribbon element on the sketch. The flowers were fussy cut & attached on my square/diamond shape. I also used the pink pencil around the border of the sand layer & added a fussy cut butterfly.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups are on my blog: The Write Stuff

BEAUTIFUL card to combine the two challenges, Julie. The softness of the colors paired with your beautiful die cuts and WOW technique make for an exquisite card.

This is incredible. What a wonderful display of all the different elements. I love the way you have white embossed and coloured those delicate flowers - just so very pretty.
