Timeless Tuesday... On Saturday!

It's a good thing Flourishes' Timeless Tuesday is just that -- Timeless! I wanted to play along with Cindy Haffner's sketch so badly that I had to make some time to play!

Here's a peek at the sketch....


Isn't that fun???? And, here's a peek at my card!


The paper is a mix of C'oredinations, Basic Grey, and My Mind's Eye. Color the image up (Strawberries) on Flourishes Classic White paper (I stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento first) with Copic Markers (a mix of Grass Green, and Dahlia Collections plus Y13 and Y17 and B0000) and then accented with some Cotton Linen Ribbon, a bow, a button and a little 1" circle sentiment (also from the Strawberry set!) From there, add some stitching and a little distressing around the square by scoring and sanding... and voila!!!

I can't tell you how much I LOVEEEEEE sketch challenges. It just takes so much out of the work out of card design. I know. I know. It's all supposed to be fun but there are just some days when I blow far too many brain cells trying to figure out what might look nice! LOL!

Hope you can take some time to play Timeless Tuesday too!! Remember... it's Timeless! ;-) See you back here soon!

That green mat behind the strawberries adds the perfect punch to all the shades of strawberry pink! Lovely card and beautiful coloring, I must try more sketches!

I love the sketch and I'm feeling the same way about the sketch challenges. If only I could remember to go back to them. Your paper combo is to die for and, of course, I love the strawberries image. Such a beautiful and happy card!
