Saturday Sketch challenge

I enjoyed yesterday's challenge so much that I thought I'd do another. This time it's Saturday Sketch 140 from Stamping 411. I love doing these challenges because the constraints often push me outside my comfort zone. That's a good thing! Here's the card I made:


I found a scrap of this beautiful old paper and tried to create a vintage feel with faded colours, and just the vibrant flowers taking centre stage.

Here's what I used (all Stamping Up):
Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Really Rust, Pumpkin Pie and Certainly Celery.
Ink: Bashful Blue (for sponging) Ballet Blue (for sentiment), Certainly Celery, Pumpkin Pie (for sponging flower petals).
Stamps: Leaf from With Gratitude (retired), sentiment from Three for You (retired)
Other: Boho Blossoms punch, Scallop circle punch, Scallop border punch, gold brads.

Well that's it for my challenge today.
I have no doubt that life will throw up plenty of challenges in the week ahead!
Better get some sleep so I can be ready for them...
Hope you have a good week. See you soon.

Vicky
