Here's my attempt at this week's Saturday Sketch Challenge...phew! This was a tricky one! The sketch is pretty simple right? Yeah, well I feel like I'm not very good at simple LOL! I always want to add more "stuff", more layers, embellishments, just MORE! I held myself back from using glitter so that's gotta count for some restraint!!
I used the Abundant Hope stamp set, along with Almost Amethyst , Old Olive and Shimmery White card stock. To color the flower I used Old Olive, Always Artichoke, Almost Amethyst and Lavender Lace. I sponged some Almost Amethyst around the edges of the card and sentiment.
Thanks so much for looking!







Kerin, you are the best! I love this card! Thanks so much for your artistry and for sharing it!

I agree that sometimes simple is hard! I found this weeks Saturday challenge a little difficult, but heck, that's why they call it a challenge. I love your card and design.
