For this card I combined two challenges. The Color Throwdown and Laura's sketch at 2 Sketches 4 You.
This weeks Color Throwdown brought mixed feelings. The colors (brocade blue, real red, and basic black) are so ME!! I love this combo, I use it a lot!! But I was a little apprehensive playing again. After being the featured stamper last week I put a lot of added pressure on myself to make this one great. It took a little longer than usual (to much second guessing) but I'm so happy with the way it turned out.
I really love the 2 Sketches 4 You challenges. They start me in the right direction but I don't ever feel tied to the sketch. Some sketch challenges box me in and I take them really literal. I always feel like I have creative freedom with Kazan and Laura's sketches..so thanks ladies. I'm truly inspired :)Thanks for stopping by!

Oh my, the pressure! Everything you create just rocks, Maria! No worries! This is adorable! And of course, it's GLG!!! (That's our new code for "Gotta' Love Gingham!")
Oh! Are we "GLG"ing now? I think this is adorable--and I do love that gingham ribbon--I will have to go check out the sketch!
Thanks for playing again!
