It took me a while today to finish this card. I knew I wanted to use the colors of the color challenge today which are Eggplant Envy, Certainly Celery and Cool Caribbean. I also knew I wanted to use Kim McNutt’s great take on layout challenge SC112. What I didn’t know was what set to use with it. I basically had everything but the center image done. I played first with Big Blooms, then with Mixed Bouquet and finally ended up with Swell news. The solid images just didn’t seem right with the rest of the card.
Stamps: Paisley, Swell News
Paper: Certainly Celery, Eggplant Envy, Cool Caribbean and Whisper White Cardstock, Petals & Paisleys designer paper
Ink: Basic Black, Certainly Celery, Cool Caribbean, Blush Blossoms, Summer Sun, More mustard and a touch of Chocolate chip classic ink
Acc.: aqua painter, 3/4″ and 1 1/4″ circle punch, black journaling marker, White and celery grosgrain.

Awwww, how sweet! I’m honored that you chose my design idea to duplicate, Beate! You always add such a special something to your cards. 🙂 Btw, thanks for that tip on the corner rounder punch! Too cool! I’ll have to try that!
Now that is just a fabulous card. Love this sketch. Gotta play!!!!
LOVE your doodles… I’ve just started adding doodles, and have to remember that they don’t have to be ‘perfect’, although yours are!!
