My first Card Patterns Challenge

Hi everyone and I hope you are all having a fantastic weekend.

I did my first ever challenge for Card Patterns. it was a sketch which you will see below. I hope you enjoy the card. This site really looks like a keeper, so if you love challenges, go take a look at Card Patterns

I decided to take some inspiration from the Basic Grey Challenge this week and use a Brown and Blue combo. I really like the look. As my sister says, kinda Victorian"ish". I used SU Brocade and bashful blue as well as Chocolate Chip. The pretty paper is also from SU and is the Bella Bleu Collection. Gosh diggity darn I love this line.

I used a few different stamps on the card. The large flourish is from Innovative Stamp Creations (another favorite) a little flourish on the Nesties blue oval, which I haven't a clue whom the maker is. Then i had a wonderful sentiment on acrylic that I stuck onto kraft SU paper about friends. Isn't that a great quote???

Lastly, I used a prima flower from the Da Vinci tube, 2 different colors of ribbon, and cut out the flourish stamp to add balance from top to bottom. Adding a few pearls that I painted with Shimmerz in Coffee, and a few little dots of cinnamon SticklesThis one was a trip to make and I hope you adore it, just like I do.
