Cardvaarks Sketch Challenge

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
