Well.....Roxie....this was a challenge. Not the whole sketch. This card was actually done very quickly.....the image was one I've had colored and ready......and certainly the dp/CB were easy....the mid panels/dp easy again.....but then.....the longest time on this card was spent on those corner adornments.......tried primas...didn't like.....hadn't left enough room for brads.....tried decorated circles....nope, didn't work......combo of flower and sentiment circle...no go.....eventually I went to my CB table and decided to go with these scroll corners, offset....not exactly the same, but still an added embellishment........
Thanks for looking.

The time spent was entirely worth it. This card caught my eye immediately. The black brads, scrollwork and horizontal stripe complement your beautifully colored image perfectly! You aced the sketch!

You made a nice choice with the scroll corners. Your card is awesome. I love the texture of the red panels and then also the bg. Isn't it annoying when you card goes together well and then you struggle to get those last fine details?!! You did well!!
