So excited to see my fellow Punchkateer, Karen, is the Featured Stamper this week! Love Karen's heart and love of our craft. She has been encouraging and inspiring me for many years. Congrats sweet girl!
I changed the sketch, image, colors, added a flower, etc. but I was inspired by her writing in the bg and the lovely SU! sketched image. I actually bought the new SU! Beautiful You set because I have always loved Karen's sketch set and it thought it looked like it.
I also used the sketch challenge from this week (turned it a bit) - love it!!! Plus on my flower, I used the mix challenge text transfer technique (you can barely tell unless you get up really close - I want to try it with something bigger next).
Hubby found some gold leaf stuff at a garage sale and I am addicted. Put it all over some sticks for a wedding shower today and also over my flower and one of my banners on this card. You will probably see it a lot more in the future as it is fun to play with!
Hugz to all - especially sweet Karen!

Nancy this is lovely! Great combo of challenges ;) I really like how you added that gold leafy stuff....I need some of that. I'm so into metallics lately. It looks especially fab on the flower.

She looks more like a ballerina now with the shoes on, Nancy. Beautiful creation with sweet texture....love the rolled flower....lots of feminine characteristics shown~

Nutz, this is absolutely gorgeous and one beautiful case. I love the changes you made (have not used this set yet) and the rolled flower is beautiful.
Thank you for your cyber friendship, the kind comments on my cards and for joining in today. It's truly been an amazing day.
