Amy’s Sketch challenge
Amy Westerman posts a sketch challenge every Sunday. I have not done one in several weeks, but I knew as soon as I saw this weeks that I really wanted to work with this layout.
I started out with the three flowers on the right hand side, but somehow that didn’t work for me. It just didn’t look right with the saying and the colors I choose.
So I switched it up a bit and added ribbon there instead. The ribbon is chocolate grosgrain and white organdy ribbon.
Card base is a 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece of chocolate chip cardstock folded in half. I brayered over the Au Chocolat Designer paper with pretty in pink and added a scallop border. I then added eyelet holes all the way through. After a DUH moment, I only added eyelets on top and bottom of the border, since the rest of the holes won’t show.
The saying is from the Elegant Inspiration set. I punched out a chocolate chip flower with the Spring flower punch , added a circle of brayered Au Chocolat paper over it and topped it off with a pretty in pink brad.
All products are from Stampin’ Up!
It is a very rich decadent card. The saying in the middle is nice and blends with the design well!

Hi! this is the first time I visit this blog, but it already seems like I’ll be coming back over and over
I just love the colors in this one. Your art is amazing
This is sucha pretty card! I love how you added the pink to the Au Chocolat paper. I’ve got to try that. TFS!
Beate, this is so simple yet so elegant! I love it, I especially love the white. I don’t ever have much white showing on my cards (that’s an understatement), but I really love how it looks. Clean, crisp. Thanks for playing!!!
Hugs,
Amy
I love this card! I have got to try brayering this Au Chocolat paper!!
I love how simple this card is, yet it looks so sleek & elegant. And brayering over Au Chocolat - what a great idea!! Why oh why can I never think of these things myself?
I love it, it’s so elegant.
What a cool idea to brayer the pink! Wow!!!

What a beautiful card! I love the technique of using the brayer to add color to the Au Chocolat DP. Once again, you have inspired me!
Oh, how gorgeous! What an elegant card!
This card is so elegant. I don’t have the paper you used but I am going to work up the card using a different paper. I just love the layout. Thanks for sharing.
Very very pretty.
what a nice job with this card, it is so elegant and simple. The piercing that you did along the bottom was great!
CLEAN and MARVELOUS!!! It is just amazing what you do with paper ink, and stamps!!! TFS.
I absolutely LOVE this card! Very elegant looking. It’s always great to see a card where the “Sentiment” gets top billing so to speak. I love the papers, colors, the scalloped edges. Everything about this card is just great. Ida
So beautiful and elegant. I love that row of piercings. I’m always having those DUH moments where I realize all my effort is now being covered up by something.
So simply beautiful! Love the brayered Au Chocolat paper!!!
