This is my card for today's sketch challenge. This is my story!
1. I used the coolest image that I received in the mail from Seattlestamper. You rock girl, thank you so much! I could not wait it to use it and this sketch was perfect for it. BTW, Judy, I wish my scraps would end up being showcased for one of Roxie's challenges!
2. I was a nervous wreck when I was coloring this image! When you only have one, you really can't blow it (mess up) cuz there's no just stamping another one! Very stressful.
3. More stress came when I got the bright idea to stamp the linen background over my carefully colored image!
4. Still more stress when I realized I was using bits and pieces of cardstock in these colors with no full sheets left!
5. Still more stress as a result of a failed mission. See ribbon in between the two brown ribbons at the top of the card. I tore my stamp room apart looking for just one more little tiny piece, we're talking maybe 2 1/2 inches long! Just enough to hang down in the center. No go!
6. Whew! I just want to go to work where the stress is quite minimal compared to this card-making monkey business!

Cindy, this is Fabulous!!!! Such detail in the coloring, and stamping and color choice and ribbons and cords, and...the list goes on! It's beautiful, definitely one that could be framed!

Wonderful image! looks very Native American like - what a coloring job - it must have taken several minutes to get your eyes uncrossed after this close work!
Remember your statement - you're not supposed to point out 'errors' on cards - we never would have noticed the missing middle ribbon !
Love the silver buttons - hope you are safely de-stressing at work now~!!
