Did you think your eyes were playing up on you!?! I have an order for 15 Thank You cards for a friend and have used this weeks Sketch Challenge for my inspiration....I made 3 different colours of this card and couldn't decided which one to upload...so put them together...I am not sure which one I like the best - I would be interested to hear your opinion!!
Now before you say anything I would like to say that I have made 2 SLIGHT changes to the challenge, the first being the sentiment is further down the panel than on the SC, but as you can see it wouldn't have worked with this image....secondly...I have not got a scalloped edge next to the image BUT I did use the SU Eyelet Border Punch to to the lacy corners on the image - my SU, Ann showed us how to do those, last night at our scrapbooking class (my second one!) SO I have technically used a border punch - hope that is not stretching thngs a bit too much!!!
The Images are water coloured, such a rare thing for me - I did find it theraputic, sitting there colouring in!!! The cards all have sponging, lacey corners and different DP....the mauve card has paper piercing rather than the small pearls that the other 2 have!! The pearl beads qualify this card to the Flourishes Challenge - I love using beads on cards...they can add so much!
ok - I'm impressed. They are all really nice - but the lavender one strikes me. The piercing works well with the layout, and the poppy image. Anyone would be happy to receive one of these. TFS . . .

All three of these cards are beautiful! Such pretty details on each one and your coloring is great! Couldn't choose a favorite amongst the colors! They would also make a lovely set! TFS!
