Now... my card. I used a favorite Hero Arts stamp Hydrangea and stamped it twice. Once in Always Artichoke and once in Cherry Cobbler. I then trimmed out the entired Always Artichoke image and the flower portion of the Cherry Cobbler image. The two were then layered. A piece of kraft cardstock was trimmed to correspond with the sketch and then I pierced the piece using a ruler. I kept the piercing simple because paper piercing isn't something I do a lot of and when I do I always seem to mess it up! The piece was then adhered to the card base, the sentiment stamped (also from Hero Arts) and then the image adhered using foam dimensionals. A few rhinestones finished things off... Pretty darn simple, except for all the fussy cutting!! Thanks for stopping by

I absolutely loved your entry card--would have voted for it even if you weren't my friend! Stiff competition, though--am keeping my fingers crossed for you! Loved this card the second I saw it--wonderful choice of colors & perfect paper piercing!
Great use of those colours. I love the contrast between the casual draft and the elegant bling and the flower. Really pretty! Thanks so much for playing along with us at CAS(E) This Sketch this week!
Wow, what an amazing bloom ... all the more so as it's popped up on dimensionals.
I voted for you ... IMHO, head and shoulders above the rest!

Love this! Awesome use of the sketch~
This is a beautiful card. Very clever trick about inking that stamp up twice and then cutting it out. I need to remember that.
That's a favorite stamp of mine, too, Rosemary, and I adore how you've showcased it to nail all these challenges!!
Voted, happily. I love that you are at the top of the list, too!
Hi Rosemary, Voting done:0) Good luck and well done for your progress so far, lovely card:0)

Stunning card Rosemary! Ihave saved it in my inspiration file as I would love to CASE it sometime, if that's okay?
Off to vote - good luck!

I always like hydrangea cards. They were the flower from my wedding. I particularly like the way the craft color block accents the flower
Beautiful designed card, Rosemary, love all the white space! Thanks for sharing your talent with us at the colourQ.
Love ho you used those masculine colours to make such a gorgeous card! And your fussy cutting is amazing! Thanks for playing along with CAS(E) This Sketch this week!

Perfect as always Rosemary. Great work on the sketch and your piercing is a great touch.
Unfortunately I was too late to vote. :( It's 2am here and I thought I'd get in a few comments before I head off to work.
Thank you for your lovely comments on my blog; it's much appreciated. Hopefully I can squeeze in more crafting time in the months to come.
Hugs,
Carole
