Here is my card for today's sketch challenge. I decided to try one of Michelle Zindorf's tutorials for this card. If you haven't seen her tutorials - you really need to check them out!
Since the stamped panel on this sketch is only 1.5 inches wide I knew I would only be making a small sample so it was less intimidating than trying to fill the whole card on my first attempt!
I used my cat tails stamp from Stamps by Judith which I stamped using river rock and versamark. Then I sponged all the colors on according to Michelle's directions. I sponged rather than brayering as I cannot seem to get good coverage over embossing the way she does with brayering.
I masked for the moon and overstamped the wheat in black ink at the end.
I stamped a portion of the Cheesecloth backgrounder by Cornish Heritage Farms on the back panel using Espresso ink by Adirondack.
The sentiment and circle are by Verve Visual.
The cat tails panel is up on dimensionals.
I am pleased with how my first attempt at trying Michelle's tutorial came out - maybe next time I'll try a full panel!

STUPENDOUS!!!! I've been checking out Michelle's tutorials but haven't gotten up the nerve or had the appropriate time to really give it a try. But, you have inspired me and first chance I get, I'm going to give it a whirl and hope it turns out as beautiful as yours!
