This card is for the sketch challenge this week, offered by Judy aka StampingQueenJAR based on a sketch by jojot. It was also intended for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge, to incorporate part of a brown bag into the design. For details and to play along, go here: http://flourishes.org/blog/
I stamped the orchid image in Archival Sepia on Flourishes cream CS that had been cut into a semi circle. Colored the image in watercolor pencils and painted over with water. Sponged marina mist on BG. then stippled Pacific Point and Tsuneko Champagne Shimmer Paint over the Marina. Stitched around the circle, then mounted on Webster's pages DP. Cut the paper bag piece with Borderabilities Fleur de Lis then sponged with Tattered Rose. Applied the crocheted trim and the punched border and mounted all to a Flourishes card. Punched a circle from another piece of the Websters Paper, pierced then added the Brad. Applied the Dew Drops and done. PT - 2
Thank you so much for looking. Have a peaceful day.

Love all the cool details - especially the circle with the brad and the paperbag border (are you sure that is a paperbag?). You put some time in this one and it totally shows. Great card!
