Inkspirations Sketch Challenge # 71

This week's sketch gave me grief LOL!  All those panels scream DP and so I had to face my lack of DP prowess and delve in.  Won't tell you how long it took me to make this card as it is embarrassing, but the good news is I am happy with the final result :)

My starting point was a piece of My Mind's Eye Stella and Rose DP.   Couldn't get the rest of the DPs in the line to work for me (insert amateur DP user LOL!), so I created some of my own with background stamps.  Got to use my brand spanking new PTI Polka Dot Basics II set.  I have been drooling over this set for a long time, and I am so glad to have it crossed off my wish list and in my possession - happy sigh...!!  I used French Script on the Saffron panel and left the blue one alone as most of it was covered up anyway.  Phew! 

The leaf and butterfly were cast offs from another card, and they worked perfectly -  love when that happens :)  I paired them with Verve's Plain Jane, Ecclesiastes 3:11 (love this verse) and added a few buttons and some "Maureen bling" in the corner.

The rest of the Design Team has some fabulous cards for your inspiration.
