Hello! Thanks so much Ally for the fun challenge of getting to choose a previous sketch! I love the sketch challenge but do not get to play as often as I like so it was loads of fun to choose a sketch I missed.
I chose SC545. For the circle in the sketch I used the somewhat rounded lotus blossom, then I added the dragonfly and bling for the three dots on either side.
I love the beautiful sentiments that come in the Lovely Lotus set. Two of my sweet friends are going through a really rough patch and this sentiment is so true as I think of both them all day long.
Funny Story: or not so funny. After I photographed this I decided to stamp the inside. I opened up my ink pad and stamped one of the buds from the set on the inside. I was surprised to see that at the same time I managed to have a big smudge in the middle. I then looked over and to my horror the front of the card was lying on top of the ink pad!!! So now there is just a slight black smudge on the front!!! Agghh! The splatters disguise it just a tiny bit but it's still pretty evident. So glad I photographed it first now I need to find someone who won't mind a smudge on the front of their card! Sigh!

A beautiful CAS card. I love that thoughtful sentiment too. How many of us have had the "accident" happen to us too - just makes us realise that we are all human after all. Hopefully we will learn to put the lid on the ink pad next time - he he.

This is just beautiful Angie. Your flower is colored so wonderfully and I love the addition of the little dragonflies and bling. It's just the right amount of embellishment. Oh, I have done what you did so often............it is SO frustrating!!!!!!!!!!!

Beautifully coloured lotus, this is a fabulous sketch and I just love this CAS design, Angie!! What a shame about the smudge - I can so relate to your pain - I have done something similar on a finished card often!!!

Love this, Angie! I was just drooling over this stamp set and thinking I may need to buy it, and then poof! Here it is on your card whispering, "buy me, buy me..."
Love the card- into my faves it goes!

Angie, your card is really pretty! Don't ya just hate to make those dumb mistakes! Done that many times. That's where my awkwardly placed butterflies are. Sometimes the mishaps just add to the charm of the gift. TFS
