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.

This is really cool stuff!!! I love that 3/4 " circle with the beautiful image on it. The punched border adds a great feel to the card-and it has a paper bag piece-how creative is that. This is so sophisticated and superb!

Your card is beautiful Marie!! You did a great job with the sketch challenge, and I love how you used the brown bag. The Webster page goes along so nicely.

Ooh, very pretty card. So, you did the brown bag challenge. I wanted to but just couldn't find the time to work it in. Fabulous job, my friend.
