Taylored Expressions Meets ColourQ37



Taylor's sketch this week was a great one, and I also loved this week's ColourQ challenge, so it was a no brainer to combine these two challenges on one card :)

I inked up Inspired by Nature and then realized how large the image was in relation to the sketch - what can I say, all pistons were not firing at full speed when I was making this card LOL!   So...to the trimmer I had to go!

The  main image panel was stamped on cream Linen card stock so it looks like I didn't ink my stamp up properly, but in fact it is the texture on the paper.  I also placed it off center so the sentiment panel would fit.  Hopefully the challenge police are okay with it :)  My Diamonds in the Rough embossing folder added a little texture to the Artichoke layer and I used the corner rounded to make the scallops.  Since I don't own any Apricot coloured ribbon, had to go with saffron ribbon instead - rule fudging number two....shhhhh   A button and the Martha Stewart Butterfly finished things off nicely.

Thanks for popping in and sharing a bit of your day with me today :D
