Makeesha's sketch challenge

You all know how much I love to sketch, well I found a delightful sketch challenge here and this is my take on the challenge.
Card Recipe;
Stamps used from Stampin'Up, For the Bride, Occasional Greetings
C/s; Not Quite Navy(one 29cm x 14.5cm , one 8 x 9cm, and scrap for scallop punch) Going Grey(14 x 12.5cm embossed with cuttlebug, and scrap for large oval)Baja Breeze (7 x 8cm), Whisper White(6.5 x7.5cm and scrap for small oval), Baja Breeze designer paper (for semi circle)
Inks; Not Quite Navy, Baja Breeze, Versamark embossed with silver
Punches; eyelet border, oval scallop, large and small oval
Accessories; Clear rhinestone brads, Baja Breeze striped ribbon, paper piercer and mat, edge distresser, sponge, paisley cuttlebug embossing folder.
Instructions;
  • Fold large Not quite Navy in half for base of card.
  • use eyelet border punch along one edge
  • from Baja breeze designer paper cut a semi-circle using a template or edge of double sided tape. Edge distress around this using tool or blade of scissors
  • stick to right hand side of Going Grey that has been embossed with cuttlebug and inked around the edges with sponge and Baja Breeze.
  • Attach ribbon to this about 1/3 down from top
  • place three rhinestone brads in various sizes to bottom left
  • emboss cake (from For the Bride set)with versamark and silver powder on whisper white, then pierce around edge
  • mat this to first baja breeze then not quite navy pieces. Attach to card front.
  • Stamp Mr & Mrs (from Occasional Greetings set) in Not quite navy position small oval punch over this and cut out. It is also sponged lightly with baja breeze around the edge. Next layer is cut with large oval punch from going grey, then oval scallop from not quite navy. Use a pop dot on right side to attach to card and a little double sided tape on the left.

Enjoy
