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.

I had the same problem with this image. I found that I liked it when I just stamped it with brown and left it alone. I do like to add a little rhinestone in the center of that one flower though! I like how you colored in the flower and that one leaf. Great job on the sketch, too!!

Beautifully done! Love how you chose to just highlight the two colors. Great bow, embossing folder, and sentiment placement. Hope your neck feels better real soon! Hugs
