As soon as Sketch Challenge #261 on Splitcoast was posted, I knew I had to use this large rose background stamp by Peddler's Pack.
The Peddler's Pack image was stamped in Stazon jet black onto Strathmore Bristol smooth paper. I colored the image with Prismacolor pencils and Caran d'Ache pencils.
I used black and white cardstock to complete this card, along with ribbon and Cuttlebug embossing folders.
Thanks for a great sketch challenge, and as always, thanks for looking.
