For todayÂ’s sketch, I layered diecut Vellum on top is layer #3 and substituted the heart for a diecut tag.
Distressed the edges of and added pearls to centers of the flowers.
This card is for Karen aka Art Deco Diva as she is fond of shabby chic and flowers.

What a gorgeous card this is Jeannie! This intricate die is really stunning, and especially the way you have used it here in a soft neutral so the gorgeous dsp can show through it. You have tucked so many details into this wonderful card with all the distressed edges of your many layers, the offsetting of some layers, this beautiful tag with layered flower, the lovely pearls, and then you tied it all up with this fabulous raffia bow! The sentiment is really lovely too! Thank you so much Jeannie- this is a really special card indeed! ~Karen.

Beautifully done with the sketch! Before I read your description, I thought this would be good one for Karen. You rocked both challenges! Love the vintage look. The die-cut frame for the kind & thoughtful sentiment is gorgeous. Lovely card! TFS

Love the way your sketch came out and the layers and colors are terrific. . The sentiment is a wonderful sentiment for a sympathy card. Thank you for joining in the tea party this week.
