I love participating in Amy’s Challenges. She always inspires me to use more designer paper and in ways I haven’t done so before. Last Sunday’s sketch was no exception. I did change it into a square card, and my main image is a circlular instead of a rectangle…but I followed the rest. LOL
I started out with a 4 1/2″ x 9″ piece of Close to Cocoa folded in half. On top of that is a 4 1/4″ square of whisper white cardstock with a 4″ square of Scenic Route paper. The two 7/8″ x 4″ dotted paper strips are from Scenic Route as well. The ribbon is May Arts.
For the center image I punched out a whisper white circle with my Mega circle punch from Uchida. I stamped the background stamp from You Make Me Happy on it with More Mustard and added the sentiment with chocolate chip. I sponged the edges of the circle and a bit on the inside with More Mustard ink to mute the “whiteness”.
The flower head is inked up with Ruby Red classic ink, outlined with chocolate chip marker and sprayed with my water mist bottle before I stamped it on white cardstock. I then sponged More Mustard and a tad of Pumpkin Pie in the center. For the center I punched out a 1/2″ circle of the Au Chocolat paper and sponged the two dots with More Mustard. It just didn’t seem right having just two dots in there. So I added more with my white gel pen. I left those white. The stem of the flower is made with Blender pen and True Thyme reinker.
The dragonfly is inked up with True Thyme, stamped off once, outlined with Really Rust Marker, water misted and then stamped on white cardstock and cut out.
Last I added the Sakura Glitter pen over the flower and dragonfly.

Wow! Love the sketch as a square! And the colors are so rich. I’ve moved away from these colors because of spring, so it was nice to see them again. As usual, your card rocks. The shot of red in the middle of the card is perfect!
Hugs,
Amy
