The road to a friend's house...

It's time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge (FTTC72)! This week Silke Ledlow is hosting. She is challenging us to a sketch she has designed. As far as sketches go, there's not much of an explanation necessary. You can turn it and modify the shapes to fit your size card, but in the end, it should still look like the sketch. Good luck!!! We cannot wait to see what you do with it!


Fabulous sketch, right?! Silke really rocked this one--I love it! And here's my card:


I used a set I'd never inked up before--this image fit that long oval perfectly! The set is Cottage Home. I stamped the image on Classic White card stock with Memento Rich Cocoa ink and colored with Prismacolor pencils. Then I cut/embossed it with a Petite Oval Nestabilities die and matted it with a scalloped layer. I added some lace to the sketch panels and some of my new fave vintage seam binding and a button. The sentiment was stamped on patterned paper (all patterned paper on this card is from the Victorian pad by 7 Gypsies), punched out with an oval punch and popped up on Pop Dots. All edges were sponged with Antique Linen Distress Ink.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Now, check out the rest of the FTTC team and see their take on the sketch--then I hope you'll play along with us!
