Cardvaarks challenge for this week was to make a card based on a sketch. I found this sketch unusually hard to turn into a card, and I think that was because I was trying to do it on a more grand scale. I'm working on a set of gift cards for a friend, and when I scaled the size down to a 4" square card, it just came into focus and I really like the end product. Here is the sketch . . .
And here is my take on the sketch . . .

And here is my products list . . .
Cardstock:
- Base of card is Die Cuts With a View (DCWV)
- Sentiment is Bazzill
Patterned Paper is from My Minds Eye "Mademoiselle" line:
- Stripe is "Mother"
- Floral is "Mother Floral"
Stamped with brown ink, then heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I didn't like the end result, so I inked the whole little rectangle with versamark and coated the whole thing with Ranger clear embossing powder and heat embossed it. I like the end result much better!
Pearls are from Prima 'e. line'
Bling on the flowers is Stickles 'platinum'

After all the fuss over the larger sketch, the final card ended up much prettier than I had expected. I think I'll make a couple more from this paper, just using different sentiments and with the addition of a couple of lavender sachets will make a pretty gift. Blessings friends! Becky

Your card turned out great. I too go on a smaller scale and couldn't incoporate the entire idea behind the sketch! You did a great job, love your chice of papers!
this is just gorgeous! Love the soft pastel colours!
Lovely card, thanks for playing along!
My "stay in pjs" days are the most productive. I love your cards...so wish I could be creative, crafty productive:-).
I really like this one. It could be done even simpler and still be very nice (for those of us who don't quite remember where that heat gun is, and if we did, probably wouldn't bother getting it out).
