This week, the challenge on the High Hopes Stamps blog is a sketch challenge, hosted by Nikki. For some reason, this sketch reminded me of cards that my friend Carla makes -- check out her sweet gallery!
This card is a bit busier than my cards have been lately -- but, I still tried to keep it rather simple. The sketch called for a few layers, and I chose to use some fun Martha Stewart ribbon, a random button, and POLKA DOT paper!
I chose to use this cute little farmer's wife image from High Hopes Stamps. I stamped the image in black Memento ink and colored it with markers.
I added some stitches around the edges of each layer with my Sew Mini. What a little crafty work horse this little machine is!

Gorgeous, Anna! I love your coloring with the markers! No matter what medium you use it always looks fab! I love your simplified version of the sketch and your signature button/ribbon combo. The scallops give it that something extra too. I love it!
