S & S Sketch Challenge #108

Back again with the weekly sketch challenge over at Stars and Stamps blog.  Here is the sketch we had to go by this week.

I started with the SU's Very Vanilla card stock and embossed it using  Spellbinder's Diamond and Stars Impressabilities.  Before I removed the card stock from the plate I sponged Broken China Distress Ink on it.  I've only used the Impressabilities a couple of times, but I'm liking them more and more.  Then I used a Cuttlebug Embossing Border for my flowers and added some blue gems and  gold edging.  My sentiment is from AMuse and I just broke it up on to the two strips and embossed it in gold.  More gold edging.  
It seemed to take me hours to come up with this card, so I think that's going to do it for me this week.  I'm going to have a bit of supper and sit down to do nothing for the rest of the night.  Thank you to all of you who visited my blog during our VCMP and especially those of you who visit on a regular basis. All of your wonderful comments really make my days.   Have a good evening and I'll see you tomorrow if I can find my MoJo.

  1. I've been looking at the impression plates and didn't know what to make of them. I love how this looks inked up! The colors are also very nice.

  7. Just sayin', Donna: this is AWESOME! You deserve a rest after creating such a beautiful card (but just a brief one 'cause your cards are so pretty). Love that bg embossing pattern; I've never seen that one. Thanks for all the encouragement you give, too!!
