CPS # 148 Sketch Challenge

Once again it's time for CPS's weekly sketch challenge.  I loved this sketch because it was so simple it was a challenge for me!  And I know that probably doesn't make sense, but I'm normally a frilly, fussy, 'more is more' cardmaker, and this sketch really made me work for it!  That said, I am really pleased with the outcome.  Here is the sketch . . .

And here is my take on the sketch; as you noticed, I did a more veretical card as opposed to a horizontal one . . .

And a spotlight pic . . .

{A side note:  You can't really tell it in the picture, but the texture and color of the embossing are almost identical to the color and texture of the ribbon - a really cool look!}
And my simple product list . . .

• Cardstock - Bazzill
• Patterned Paper - K&Company Designer Mat Pad "Roam"  (I'm loving these papers!)
• Shimmery copper ribbon from my stash
• Gems from Basic Grey 'bling it'
• Sentiment stamped with Versamark ink, then heat embossed using Ranger 'Copper' embossing powders
• Label cut with Cricut "Home Accents" cartridge

Do you see how easy that was?  But doing a simple card isn't really that easy for me, so I'm grateful for the challenge.  Thanks for visiting!  Becky
