Hi! This card was made for today's Sketch Challenge...
I did follow the sketch...And you can BARELY see the middle piece of designer paper, as I covered it with the ribbon and the Hodge Podge Hardware...
I know this isn't cute, like many of my cards have been lately. I just couldn't "do cute" this morning... My mom was diagnosed with advanced stages of Leukemia yesterday. I'm really trying to keep her spirits up, so in keeping with my upbeat attitude, I stamped, "NOW!" on the inside! She will laugh! I know she will.
The focal image was stamped on Whisper White twice. Both images were colored with SU! markers. I punched the second image out with a 1/2" circle punch and layered it on the first with dimensionals. The bottom portion of the image was stamped on scraps of designer paper and highlighted with SU! markers.
I added dots with an Always Artichoke marker and a Signo Pen.

Faith, I want to encourage you this morning with 2 things:
1. Your card IS especially cute as all your cards are. Your mother will love it, because it is from your heart.
2. I was sorry to hear of your mother's diagnosis. A favorite encouraging scripture of mine is: "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea." -Psalm 46:1-2
Lifting you, your mother and family in prayer...
