sketch challenge

I've had this stamp set for a little while and didn't quite know what to do with it.  Then I saw the sketch  challenge at the Stamping 411 site!  I also entered this in the SU Only Challenges and Hand Stamped Sentiments for Mother's day cards. Be sure to check out their blogs! The stamp set is Because I Care (a hostess set).  I used whisper white, certainly celery, and bashful blue card stock.  The cert. celery piece was embossed using the square lattice folder & the big shot.  I used bashful blue & certainly celery markers to color the image.  The sentiment is stamped with soft suede.  Accessories used were certainly celery grosgrain ribbon and basic pearl jewels.  The card reminds me of my Mom's hydrangeas, so this will probably be a card for her.  TFL!
*Update:  I just found out that I made the 411 Showcase w/ this card!  Too exciting!!
