Technostamper Sketch Challenge #4

Hi there - I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I know I did. Yesterday was just too nice to stay inside! So my 2 dogs and I sat outside and read (well the dogs didn't - they are not THAT smart...)

Then I came back inside and worked on my Challenge for today, which came from Mary Jo at Technostamper. Don't forget to check out her blog after lunch to see the list of all other players!

Mary Jo, I have to tell you "this was NOT one of my favorites" (no offense!). But I guess that's what challenges are all about, right? To challenge us to do something different... and so I did.

Here is the layout we had to use:

And the card that I came up with:

I cut a piece of double sided designer Paper to measure 5 1/4 by 4. Then I found the midway point on the 5 1/4 side and cut from that point to the corner on one side and did the same on the other. The I've distressed the edges with the SU! cutter kit. I kept the middle part on the Paisley Pattern and flipped the corners over to use the backside of the paper. So I actually used BOTH sides of one piece of designer paper on the same card. I think that would make Gwen happy ;-)

I am not sure if you can see the sparkle on the flower, but it's embossed with iridescent ice EP!

If you want to play along, leave a comment here on my blog and at Mary Jo's!

Have a great Monday...
