Tuesday Morning Sketches

This card is for this week's sketch challenge at Tuesday morning sketches. I've been super busy lately and haven't had much free time for card making. Today I made myself take some time to get creative. I'm so glad I did! It really is relaxing for me and that's just what I needed.

Having said that, I'm not really sure I like this color combo, but I do like the sketch and how the card turned out. I was trying to use colors as close to the color challenge at Splitcoaster Stampers, but I don't think I got real close. Oh well, I tried.  Here's my card:

And the sketch design:


I stamped the leaf image with three different Distress Oxide inks, overlapping them some. Once the panel dried, after being spritzed with some water, I attached it to the orange CS and then to the Brown card base. The Birthday Greeting was stamped in the same brown distress ink, die cut and layered onto the same orange and brown CS. The strip at the top was die cut with a Spellbinders die. I added the orange ribbon before attaching it to the card. The bow was created using my Bow Easy (it's the only way I can make a decent bow!). Some orange rhinestones finish it off.

Thanks for stopping by.
