Hey Roxie, I love this weeks sketch though it did take me forever to get the panels right. I must get some new ink for my printer! Nothing like printing out those sketches for patterns.
I am still thinking about the CC292 which used 'a raspberry, tangerine, and saffron set of colors'. And I have taken liberty with my Asian woman (Stamp Francisco) to give her such bright colors, but I just couldn't resist. My card is a great big combination of Basic Grey papers. The leaves panel is from Indian Summer, embossed with the Leafy Branch EF from Cuttlebug. The sentiment and layer behind the woman is a tangerine from Wander. And the wonderful sky background is a HOARDED gift from my neighbor (Mellow). The sentiment is a Daisy
Bucket clear cling inked with Memento Lilac Posies.
The woman is also inked with the same Memento. I used MicroBeads for her hat. I added the silver butterfly with a snippet of vintage fuchsia seam binding.
So I would love to hear what you think! And thanks very kindly for stopping by.

Susan, this Asian themed card is sensational. I love the woman image and the microbeads on her headdress look fabulous. I also really like the dp in the bg.
