Hi everyone! I designed a sketch for the Victorine Originals blog challenge. The challenges usually last two weeks and if you participate you have a chance to win free stamps!
Here is the sketch.

Sentiment is from VO from the set Blank label and sayings set, which you can find
here. The designer paper is from Kaisercraft.
I distressed the smaller vertical panel using Memento rhubarb stalk ink. The fancy doily like die is from Memory Box and cut out from a piece of cardstock from HOTP. Added a satin bow and ribbon in a rose color to match the cardstock and the colors in the dp. lastly, small self adhesive gold pearls added to the top right hand corner.
I kept it CAS for this one, but did use up some DP - which is my New Years Resolution - to use more dp on my cards so that I can begin to deplete my stash! So far so good!
Don't forget to head over to the
VO stamp blog and participate in this challenge - the sketch is an easy one and can be used for anything!
