 This is my card for today's sketch challenge. This is my story!

1. I used the coolest image that I received in the mail from Seattlestamper. You rock girl, thank you so much! I could not wait it to use it and this sketch was perfect for it. BTW, Judy, I wish my scraps would end up being showcased for one of Roxie's challenges!
2. I was a nervous wreck when I was coloring this image! When you only have one, you really can't blow it (mess up) cuz there's no just stamping another one! Very stressful.
3. More stress came when I got the bright idea to stamp the linen background over my carefully colored image!
4. Still more stress when I realized I was using bits and pieces of cardstock in these colors with no full sheets left!
5. Still more stress as a result of a failed mission. See ribbon in between the two brown ribbons at the top of the card. I tore my stamp room apart looking for just one more little tiny piece, we're talking maybe 2 1/2 inches long! Just enough to hang down in the center. No go!
6. Whew! I just want to go to work where the stress is quite minimal compared to this card-making monkey business!

Wonderful image! looks very Native American like - what a coloring job - it must have taken several minutes to get your eyes uncrossed after this close work!

Remember your statement - you're not supposed to point out 'errors' on cards - we never would have noticed the missing middle ribbon !

Love the silver buttons - hope you are safely de-stressing at work now~!!
