Hi! This card was made for today's Sketch Challenge! I also decided to use this sneak peek set!LOL!
Speedy the Cat thinks he is Markie's little brother. The means my mom is his GRANDMA! LOL! So, when we were gone this weekend, my parents came over to socialize with our crew! Mother said that Speedy the Cat kept chattering at my computer screen and wouldn't leave my stampin' room until she picked him up!
So, I decided that this card will be from Speedy the Cat, as he and Markie usually give her a card for Mother's Day! LOL!
The flower image is a Sneak Peek from Sweet N' Sassy! I stamped the image on Watercolor paper and colored it in with SU! markers. Next, I stamped the image again and cut out the center. I used foam tape to attach it to the flower.
The leaves and swirls are Sizzix die cuts. I sponged the leaves HEAVILY!

Beautiful job, love how you did the sketch! The embossed squares are so cool and I love how your dazzling flower extends out of the regulation panels, hee! This is awesome, Faith!

This is lovely and all other adjectives of beauty I can think of...
My DH came up behind my shoulder while this card was on my screen, and said 'wow, that's pretty'! So, into my favs it goes.
thanks for sharing,
Valerie

Well, I went from 'newest' to 'oldest' in today's gallery. This card is equally as beautiful as the others, if a Marine can be beautiful!! So much thought goes into your cards. How do you do it? This would take me forever and you've done 3 already! WOW
