This is an older sketch of Lauren Meader's (mytimess10), but it's a great one! She challenged us with it again yesterday, along with two others. I think I like the result of this card more than the one I made the first time :O)
I kept is sort of monochromatic with Sahara Sand and White. I got lucky with the Martha Stewart ribbon...it matches pretty well!
For the main image, I stamped the watermarked background image on a separate piece of paper before stamping it on my cardstock. I then used the same Sahara Sand ink to stamp my overlay image on top. I sponged the edges of each white panel with Sahara Sand to give a little bit of added dimension.
For the label, I die cut it twice, once with Sahara Sand cardstock and again with White. I cut the white along the dotted lines before adhering to the Sahara Sand. Other than that, I added the two eyelets, and adhered everything...and all done!
