Another card!!

Wow that's two cards today!! I made this one using this week's sketch from Sketch Saturday, and the colour comination from Colour Create, which was chocolate, coffee and cream. Its my first go at Colour Create and am am quite pleased with the outcome. I am also entering it into this week's Basic Grey Challenge which is Chocolate Soft Centre (you take inspiration form your favourite chocolate). I am not a big chocolate fan (give me a packet of crisps any day) but I am partial to the hard chocolate cover toffees.
Sorry about the pic - on Friday it was too dark, now its too bright LOL!!

I watercoloured my imageusing antique linen, brushed corduroy, tea dye and frayed burlap, oh and tattered rose. I distressed her using antique linen and tattered rose, you know I LOVE distressing! I have used papers from the same pack again and enlarged bits of the sketch as the image is quite long. The flowers and swirls are punched and I added some pink gems to it. The sentiment and flower detail is stamped in Versafine Sepia.
Beth is in her element with lambs around and her is a pic of her and Grandad feeding the ewes. She told me that "we can't go too close or the lambs will be frightened and mummy won't eat" - bless! It is amazing what a day's sunshine does to a lamb - they come on leaps and bounds.Don't forget its a new Sketch and Stash challenge tomorrow. Recipe:
Stamp(s): Sugar Nellie Fingers crossed; flower border mag freebie; Sentiment Pollycrafts
Colouring Media: distress inks
Papers: Basic Grey Eva
Embellishments: punched flowers and swirls (EK Sucess), ribbon and gems from stash
