Sketch and Stash #10




It's the 10th challenge over on the Sketch and Stash blog. This is my card following the sketch with backing papers from Crafters Companion Florals and a little green piece from Funky Fairies. The scalloped edge was done using the edge of a Nestabilities frame and gold mirri card. The new element is the stamp - which is the centre of a Creative Expressions Treasure box stamp that I hadn't got round to using yet. I suppose you could also count the flower - I just couldn't resist using my new punches which only arrived yesterday although there wasn't a flower on the original sketch.
Thanks very much for visiting.
Beryl xx
Edit. I noticed that the green wasn't quite straight at the top so added a Cuttlebugged swirl. It made me feel better about it anyway.

That portion of the stamp is the perfect image for your card and I love the way you've coloured it. The embossing is spot on too!

You've been busy! It's my ironing day again, so half an hour blogging for evry shirt!!! I'm also paying myself a pound for each one towards my holiday!!! I know it all comes out of the same purse at the end of the day, but it keeps my motivation up!
This card is beautiful -I love the image and what a clever idea to use your Nestabilities to create the scalloping.
Hope you are well,
Love,
Sammie
