I am so excited I finally got a chance to play this week. I have been keeping up with the challenges and happy to say I was able to combine 5 of this week's challenges into one card.
TLC370 Faux Patina (on background panel)
WT368 - Get Sentimental
F4A110 - Caught a Bug? (butterflies)
IC330 - Harabu House (my silhouette behind sentiment)
SC378 - Sketch Challenge
My inspiration from Harabu House was this placemat:
This is going to my niece and her husband, who I am so proud of. They are both graduating from Med School this May. She will be an Oncologist/Radiologist and he will be a Psychiatrist. They have worked hard, and their dreams are just now beginning to unfold.
Thanks so much for taking a closer look, and I hope you like it

Barb, what a gorgeous card for your niece and her DH. I marvel when you can combine all these challenges in one beautiful card. Your faux patina bg is exquisitely done and works terrifically with this layout. The sentiment couldn't be more perfect. They will so appreciate the love and time that went into creating this personal card for them. Congratulatio9ns to them too!
