As far as the sketch challenge goes this card is fine.
As far as Teapot Tuesday goes it's a lame duck. But this is my story; we drove almost 750 miles between Saturday and Monday, which is a LOT in Ireland. I was tired yesterday and started a card with some beautifully synchronised swimming fish. I finished it this morning, lots of embossing and fussy cutting - and they took an unsynchronised dive into a bin full of rain when a sudden gust took the card while I was watching the birds. I don't have the energy to go swimming any more this week!!
Bigger than normal, this is 4 1/2" by 6 1/2", size of the DCWV paper.
All papers are DCWV Pocketful of Posies, with a script stamp on the left-hand bottom triangle.
I stamped the flowers from Carte Postale on the base layer as per the sketch, with ColorBox Pigment Aqua.
Main image panel was stamped with markers, all panels are up on narrow foam tape. Three half-daisies and three half pearls at the top finish it off, and that's as synchronised as I get to be this week.

This is a beautiful card, Sabrina and lovely colors! How awful to watch your other beautiful card fall in the water. I would have been cussing up a storm - even though it doesn't do any good. Wow, 750 miles - I hope it was at least scenic and fun!

Oh Sabrina, that sounds like something that would happen to me, like the day I finished a card I actually liked then spilled my drink all over it. Needless to say, it got ruined. But this card is very lovely, and you will definitely tickle a teapotter with this beauty.

Sorry about the fish card, but I am happy you had the ambition to do another, especially after all those miles.
Actually, for some reason there is nothing where the larger card is supposed to show up, so I am going by the tiny thumbnail - the colors and pattern look lovely, but I have to admit I can't make out the details. That dp is a favorite of mine and I only own a couple of single sheets.
