Sarah Kay Challenge#14

Thank you so much to everyone who left me a sweet message on how my daughter Toni and I celebrate the life of my son, Daniel! I really appreciate it. She may only know him through my stories and pictures but Toni always make sure to include her brother in our daily lives. She maybe a brat, sometimes (yes, you Toni!) but she truly is my Earth Angel. Love you, Mom!

Anyway, it's been week's since the last time I played with my Sarah Kay stamps and regret that I haven't been participating on the challenges but it's another sketch challenge and here's my take.

I pulled the colors from the American Crafts patterned paper and used that as my color combination. The lace scallop punch is by Martha Stewart. The only thing I don't care about this card is the gross grain ribbon that I used and should've used a wider ribbon instead.

I have another card that I made last night for 2 Sketches 4 You but cannot get a descent picture. This card was a little dark also but I guess I just have to settle with it.

Stamps: Rosalie's Bicycle by Sarah Kay

Paper: Whisper White, Old Olive, Pretty in Pink and Chocolate Chip card stock from Stampin' Up and American Crafts patterned paper

Ink: Versafine Onyx Black, and SU re-inkers

Accessories: Pretty in Pink gross grain ribbon, stampin' dimensional, Prima flowers, MS lace scallop border and Self-adhesive rhinestone

You 'color' so well! It's a challenge for me (hee)! I love the ribbon on there and that decorative edge as well!

I love this card! I really like the jewels in the middle of the flowers. I also like the skinnier ribbon. Great work! :0)

This is fabulous! I love the lacy edge and I think the ribbon is perfect.

Every time we go to Michael's Tim says we can't buy anything from the convict! MEN! A friend of mine bought a punch of hers and it won't punch through cardstock. That would bum me out as I use cardstock often.

Some day maybe I'll get some SK stamps or have someone send me images.

Beautiful work as usual!

Oh, BTW what size card did you use on this one Catherine? Just curious because sometimes I have to make my cards bigger to accomadate these stamps & was wondering what everyone does with them. Thanks

This is an awesome card, Catherine! Love the paper. And I think the ribbon looks OK with the olive piece behind it. Great job colouring too!

Hey, thanks for the suggestion on the mini googly eyes on my tree. I'll have to get some and stick 'em on!
