This sketch proved tough for me...just didn't have any sentiment quite skinny enough for that third panel! But then I have to thank starofmay and Roxi for giving me a challenge!
I've had this Stampendous Ruffled Flower watercolored for months now...it was stamped onto a shimmer gold paper and I used black puff pen for the little round something or others! My sentiment is from Impression Obsession and is inked in VersaColor black and embossed in clear. I overstamped the SU paisley print with TH di tattered rose. I did indeed piece my two panels together as Roxi suggested. This paper is from MME double sided. I cuttled with a paisley embossing folder. Baby rick rack in white was used down the seam (which was quite neat!) I stamped onto the sentiment a piece of punched scrap (Fiskars eyelet punch). The mat is also a piece of MME 29th ST Market that has the swiss dots embossed upon it. I stamped my card base with SU plaid bg in tattered rose. I wanted to go white, I really did, but it just looked to bare to me...I need your white space talent, Sparklegirl!!!
Thanks for taking a peek and your comments, too!

Stunning creation, Susan! I love all the vintage looking pinks and the texture you introduced with the different CB folders! The big flower is colored exquisitely and what a perfect sentiment to go with it! As always, the fine details like the rick rack and punched border complete your wonderful design!

Beautiful Susan! Love the paper piecing and that ruffled flower is fantastic. I've picked this stamp up and put it down a number of times in the craft shop, I must get this one too and I love how you've painted it. I really like the layout too even if you didn't do white space!
