Wednesday Sketch Challenge #7

Oh my! It's Wednesday already. Here's the sketch Challenge for this week. Hope you'll play along! The details are listed below.

Sketch Wednesday Challenge Details:
The details are pretty simple--make a card of any theme you choose utilizing the card sketch posted on my blog and then on the sketch challenge announcement post, reply with a comment posting a link to your blog or online gallery so that everyone can view how you utilized the sketch. You have all month to complete each challenge. So there is no confusion, a "month" runs from the first day of the month through the last day of the month--example Aug. 1st-Aug. 31st.

Bonus Opportunity for Participating in Sketch Wednesday Challenges:

Each month, I will assign a number in order from all of the comments/links posted from all qualifying participant weekly sketch challenge cards and draw one lucky winner for a package of blog candy from me! All of the blog candy goodies that I will offer will be craft/card making related--embellishments, ink pads, images, stamps, ribbon, punches etc.

Here's my take on this sketch!

To make this card I first colored the image and matted it first with light olive green cardstock, and then again with red cardstock.

Next, I cut my cardstock base which measures 5.5" x 5" from dark olive green cardstock. I trimmed the patterned paper to fit on the right hand side of the card base and matted it with orange cardstock. I placed 3 leaf shaped brads, off center to the right, at the bottom as shown, and then adhered the entire piece to my card base.

I, then placed my matted image in the center of the cardstock base, according to the sketch as shown.

To finish this card, I played with my new Nestabilities! (Yeah!) I cut the light green cardstock using the plain circles, and (of course) cut the orange cardstock with the scalloped circles. "Fall Frolic" was created by using rubs-ons by Reminisce. Then, I adhered the light olive green circles onto the scallops and adhered them to my card as seen on the sketch.
