I was really at a loss as to what to do with 2 and 3, since I wanted the saying to take center stage......so I guess what I did works in a way. If you have any suggestions as to what I might have done, please let me know. I thought this was a REAL challenge.

LOVE your take on the sketch, Anne! The pearls are perfect for the two panels. I had the same dilemma and used vellum for the one and ribbon for the other. Bee-utiful!
I think you did a great job! Sketches are always open to interpretation and you have included the spirit of the sketch! That sentiment is hilarious!!! That's one thing I most certainly do not want to inhale!!! Great card!!!

I think those half pearls are an excellent choice! I wouldn't change this in any way. What a perfect sentiment too!! I also thought this sketch was a stumper too. It's nice to be your neighbor!

Firstly, I think this is terrific just as it is. The background is gorgeous and u love the partial flower and bee edging into the circular panel. And that gorgeous bow!
Secondly, where in the world do you come up with all your fun sentiments you add! Every time I click on one of your creations I look forward to what they will say : )P.S. This sketch threw me, too! Guess that's why they call it a challenge!

LOL your card is super cute and funny! I think you did a good job with this difficult sketch. The white images over the background balances it nicely to highlight the sentiment.

Oh my gosh! I laughed out loud! This is too funny! For sure it was a tough sketch, and I like how you got creative with those pearls. Definitely a great way to let the humor shine!

I have to agree with you, Anne....strong diagonals can be tricky to work with.....they are STRONG design elements in any art form. You dealt with them very well....and your sentiment (funny too) is still the focal point.

I like you card Anne just the way it is and it made me smile. It's beautiful and I love the sentiment, the pearls and the gorgeous bow. You make the best bows. Nicely done.
