Sweet Sunday Take Time

Last night I got about an hour's sleep.  So when I finally decided I wasn't going to be falling back to sleep I decided it was a good time to make a card. 

This card was made using the The Sweetest Thing Sweet Sunday Sketch.  There's a DT call going on there so I'm throwing a card into the ring so to speak. 

Usually if I have a sketch to use the next thing I do is pick a stamp but this time I picked the Bo Bunny paper first and this stamp works great with that paper.  The papers are mostly brown so I used pink to punch it up.

Lately I've been trying to do things outside of my comfort zone.  This sketch has two large flower elements.  Usually I substitute something else for flowers but I like the flowers you can make with the various die-namic MFT is selling and I'm trying to incorporate flowers.  I used the Royal Roses and am thrilled with the way they turned out.  After I rolled them up I sponged some ink on the edges, it reminds me of tea roses.

There are a couple things that don't show
well in the photograph.  There's a stick pin stuck into the large rose.  Besides the clock charm and twine there's a clear crystal.  Also not showing well are the two ribbons at the bottom of card. 

I'm very happy with the way this card turned out, I wish the photo did it justice.  Oh well....
