Cherry Branch

What a lovely morning it is!
I've had a productive morning of cardmaking between loads of laundry; but, as often happens with me, the cards I come up with don't actually fit any of the challenges I sat down meaning to play in!
Finally, though, I managed to buckle down and finish this one:

Here are the challenges:
1) Papertake Weekly Sketch 27

I had to stretch a little, using a muted cousin of the rust-shade... but all in all I like the combination.  The coloring is difficult to see in detail, as the colored pencil is rather light and gets washed out in the photograph.  I can't say I would have thought to use a sky blue ribbon with this card on my own; but I like it.  Here's a little closer detail:

Materials used on this card:

White and black cardstock
Kraft White Paisley by Making Memories
Marcella "Bungalow" 12x12 Papers from K & Co

"Cherry Blossom" stamp by Rubber Stampede,
heat-embossed with Ranger Superfine Clear embossing powder
Tiny Alphabet "Chloe's Closet" collection by Making Memories
3/8-inch Robert Stanley sky blue ribbon
Antique Silver Metallic brads from Spare Parts

Thanks for visiting as always, and have a great day!
