SSSC56 Any Occasion Card

I have to admit that when I saw Karen Giron's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge I was a little intimidated.

I usually have very bad luck trying to fit small squares onto big ones and then I get aggravated trying and I just give up.  But this time I wanted to give it a go.  I've been trying to do Karen's sketches every week because they are just so darn "sweet" so I didn't want to let myself down by skipping one that I might find difficult.  After all, isn't that what a challenge is all about?  Challenging ourselves to do something that may be out of our comfort zone.

So with my trusty ruler in hand (really, it was more like a death grip) I attempted this sketch challenge.  And I have to say I'm pretty pleased with the result.  I hope you like it too.

And because I usually do something to the inside of a card made with dark cardstock so that regular folk can use it, may I present the inside as well.  (And by regular folk, I mean those who see no need to own a white gel pen).

 Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have time to stamp today!

For someone who felt intimidated you certainly pulled it off beautifully! Love your colour combination - something I haven't tried and will add to my mental list!
Happy stamping today!
