It's time for another sketch challenge on Joanie's blog.  This time she really challenged us with a sketch AND color challenge. 




The sketch is a fun one, especially if you have a patterned paper pack or double sided paper to use on a card because it lends itself to using 2 different patterns. 

Honestly, I love the color combo, but I don't have any patterned paper nor many of the inks in these colors. That certainly made it a challenge, but I rose to it.  (or at least I tried)  It's certainly not one of my best works, but it did stretch me.

I ended up using some CM patterned paper that I found in my stash.  It was lighter than the SU colors, but coordinated pretty well.

I addeed some glitter to my stamped images to "bling it up".

 This adorable little "key" charm was a fun find from "Shipwreck Beads" up in Lacey, WA.   They have so many unique items from beads, to charms, to chains, to wires and most anything you would need to make jewelry or add embellishments to almost any project.
