This is my card for today's sketch challenge. I love the image, but I really wrestled with it for some reason. I colored several and didn't like them, then I decided to just color two small items and highlight them. I stamped the image in Soft Suede, colored the sunflower in Crushed Curry and the leaf in Old Olive and added stickles to both of them. I used the sandy speckles wheel for the strip layer, and Autumn Meadows DP for the back panel. I dry embossed Old Olive for the background.
I hope you like it....I'm going to the doc for my neck...really painful this morning....I'll be back to make comments on ya'll's cards later today.

Your card is very pretty!! I really like how you just colored small items on your image. Great idea!! I wonder if you neck hurts partially from crafting. Mind gets sore sometime too. I hope they can offer a helpful solution.
