Anything goes with sketch option at Creative Inspirations

Good morning lovelies - how are you today? I think I'm just about caught up now - you have a weekend away and everything goes crazy - nevermind. It was worth it.

Today its time for a new challenge to start at creative Inspirations:

This week's challenge is Anything Goes + Option of a Sketch!
(You may choose between the new Sketch or one of the old ones. Just state which you have used)

Sketch No.7

You can find a link to the page of our old Sketches in the sidebar or simply by clicking below:
OLD SKETCHES

This week's prize is from BUGABOO STAMPS and is 7 DIGITAL IMAGES OF THE WINNER'S CHOICE!



I chose to use sketch 6
 and I've been trying another sheena folder - a very similar technique to mondays post - what do you think?



So I used distress inks to create the background -( bundled sage, shabby shutters, pine needles, mowed lawn and forest moss)  The ran the card through the A4 embossing folder in my grand calibur then cut to 7and 1/2 inches square. This piece was then buffed over with a relatively dry black staz-on pad. I mounted this on black card then onto an 8x8 card. The central portion was more white card coloured with bundled sage then stamped using black archival - the stamp is a claritystamp. I cut some leaves out the remaining piece and sprayed with spray and sparkle - then added the webbing from That Craft Place and added the topper and leaves.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Thanks for dropping by today - I have to get ready for rainbows tonight - we're making 'noisy shakers' tonight which should be lots of fun!!!!!! Might try doing some music with them too!!! 

Big hugs
