This is my card for a challenge with a small group of friends. We were to use Basic Gray paper and and a previous sketch. I used Cookiestamper's DD sketch challenge from Saturday. This is my story.
1. All these challenges have me a little discomboobriated (I think that is the word I am looking for!) I am not even doing every single one, and I am feeling stressed, hurried and guilty for not doing every one! Oh Brother!
2. I literally had about three weeks or better to plan this card but of course I made it at the last minute and in a hurry.
3. I had a little issue with a couple of the flowers. I brayered the flowers with versamark, then embossed them with ultra thick embossing powder. Once again, even though I know better, I cut them out before I embossed them! The result of that was that a couple of them went flying and stuck to the carpet. I know, I know, shoulda held them down with those special little tweezers. Too lazy to get up and get them.
4. I am sending this card to Debi, a fellow SCSer who recently had a death in the family.
Thanks Shelly (Papermoon04) for the awesome ribbon that matched this paper perfectly!
