Sketch Saturday #298

Good morning!  Happy Saturday!  Hope your weekend is off to a great start!  We've got a quiet weekend planned, that is unless anything changes!  I am here now with my DT post for this week's Sketch Saturday Challenge.  We are sponsored this week by Oak Pond Creations, who are offering our winner their choice of three digis from the Oak Pond Creations Etsy shop.


Here is the fabulous sketch from Alex:
 
And here is my take on the sketch:


My card base and mats are SU Purely Pomegranate and the patterned papers are from the Webster's Pages Plum Seed collection.  The adorable image is Miss Mary Contrary, one of the new Little Cottage Cuties by Elisabeth Bell for Whimsy Stamps.  I was lucky enough to have won her during the release blog hop.  I stamped her on MiC Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added a bit of Silver Stickles to the silver bells to make them sparkle a little.  I colored in the grass with my Copics, also.  A few Wild Orchid Crafts roses finished my card.
 
Here is a close-up of the colored image:


Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Sketch Saturday blog and check out the gorgeous creations from the rest of the Saturday Girls.  We hope you will find time to play along this week!

I am entering my card in the following challenges:
Divas by Design (rubber stamps only)
Card Makin' Mamas #81 (stack it up - use more than 3 layers)
Whimsy Stamps and Inspiration February FB Challenge (something new;  the stamp is new)

Have a wonderful weekend and see you soon!
