Simon Says Card Challenge

Over on the Simon Says Stamp Challenge blog they posted a nice card sketch for this week's challenge...



And I haven't done a challenge in awhile...

And I have been really enjoying making cards...

And I have these really cute stamped images I swapped a couple of month's ago with my friend Tracy...

So...

I thought I would give it a whirl...



I used up some scraps I had laying around (from SEI, Memory Box and who-knows-what-else...), and the image is from a Stampin' Up set...I've had my eye on this, so it was a great surprise to see it in the package I received in the swap! I colored the little darling with Prismacolor Markers...and no matter how many pictures I tried taking, the soft 'blush pink' in the image is showing up neon...it really isn't...bummer!



And adhered her to a doily I made using a Spellbinders die that I received in my gift bag at a retreat I went on last month (I'll post more about that trip later...so much fun!)



And here is the dimensional shot...

I am reserving the right, as the artist, to go back later and add some bling to the card...maybe a pearl accent or two...what do you all think, she feels a bit un-done to me...hmmm, I'll have to stew on it for a while...

  1. I think your card is perfect. You coloured that little darling perfectly.
    Maybe add some pearls to the top left, but it is great just the way it is.
    I have to try this sketch, your take on it is awesome.
