Wednesday's Sketch

This is my card for today's sketch challenge over on SCS. Since it was so late in the day, and I had had this idea swimming around in my head all day long, I broke my rule and checked out the gallery to make sure I wasn't going to do the same thing that anyone else had done. Do any of you worry about that too?? I know everyone has their own style, but I always think that if it came that easy to me, it HAD to have come to someone else. Thank goodness there are so many stamps to chose from and everyone has their own unique style, because NO ONE had used the stamp I had my heart set on all day, PHEWW!! I am EXHAUSTED from sitting in boring orientation for the past two days, so I was pretty sure I wasn't going to be able to think of anything else. Anyway, I stamped the flower from Bloomin' Beautiful twice on watercolor paper and colored it with my ink pads and aqua painter. I cut out parts of the second flower and glued them to the other one to add some dimension. I don't know why, but when I use this set, I always want to use this paper. And I don't know about all of you, but I have to force myself to use different stamp sets or else I would use this one all the time!! I added some brads and chocolate ribbon and it was done!! That's all for me for now! Thanks for looking and have a great day!!

  4. Jessie, this is beautiful! And I totally have had those same thoughts about the challenges. I usually don't get to them until the evening, so I always think someone will have come up with the same idea that I've been holding on to all day . . .

  16. Gorgeous stamp choice! Really beautiful card! I didn't much like the sketch today, but your card rocks it!! I do worry about the whole 'copying' thing too! It actually happened that I uploaded a card and then went through the gallery and spotted another sooo similar that I was sure someone was gong to say I copied the other person! I hadn't even looked at the gallery that day, so I couldn't have even been influenced by it! What are the chances though? Both of us having the same idea on the same day!!

  20. Beautiful! Love that flower and you colour it so perfectly! I find if an idea comes very quick, I am sure that everyone else must be thinking it too! Rarely happens, but I still avoid the gallery!
