This card was frustrating as well as fun!! I took a while to think about Taylor's sketch challenge, I wanted to do something different than an image in the smallest panel and didn't want to put a sentiment in the circle area. Talk about putting yourself up to the challenge!!! I haven't figured out how I am going to manage my first idea yet, still thinking!!! My second idea didn't work, I spent a lot of time trying, finally accepting it just wasn't going to work. This was my third idea!!! And like my card I shared earlier, it looked better in my head than how it turned out!! With this idea I was determined to work Gina's technique challenge on Stamp TV into it!! She wants us to create some type of sewing element on our card. I have cross stitched for years and love when I can stitch on a card, my two crafty loves wrapped into one!!! I wasted a lot of paper (and time!!!) trying to get the waves to work all around the card, that was a challenge in itself, finally settling on punching just 2 sides. I love this sentiment from Gina's Elegant Flowers set, though I think if I do this card again, either use a smaller panel or a larger sentiment!!! I would have liked my ribbon rose larger but I will need to find wider ribbon for that!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by again today!!!
