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!

Oh my susan, your sentiment is just so perfectly matched with these gorgeous papers! I love your cb bg and your stapled sentiment. Oh my goodness, is this ever wonderful! But of course, your flower is the real show stopper here, Anne. It's embossed and colored to absolute perfection. Fabulous card, Susan, really really fabulous.
