For this week's sketch challenge. Oh, this card was great fun to make!
I was blessed to have spent some time, yesterday, with Susan (One4joy), including lunch. I was served a lovely 3-beet salmon salad, which was truly amazing. When I was finished, there remained on my plate, perfectly swirled beet juice. We both pressed our paper napkin closures into the juice (Mine is part of the bottom banner.) and I used an extra napkin to make the bg for the big panel. The napkin was separated from the back ply, xyroned to a piece of scrap cs, and embossed. So- how many of us make art from our lunches?
Of course, it fits for the DD Dirt Cheap theme challenge.

OMGosh Brenda!! This is great! You could never duplicate it...it's 1 of a kind so I think you should frame it!!! It could be your special remembrance of a wonderful lunch with a stamping buddy! It is truly beautiful!!

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?

Amazing...so creative! I will see serendipity things like this but don't very often turn them into art! And that's what you have done....created a wonderful piece of art!
