My Everything - Bloggers Challenge Sketch

Happy Bloggers Challenge Friday, I'm glad you stopped by today!  Thanks to those who played along with last weeks Floral Frenzy, I loved seeing all the wonderful floral creations!  This week is  favorite challenge - it's sketch week!  I enjoy sketch challenges, as it gives me a jumping point, just pick my papers and stamps and I'm ready to roll!

Here's this weeks sketch challenge, feel free to take some creative liberties with the sketch (as I have).  I changed my card in size to 5-1/2" x 5-1/2" and moved the circle down slightly to add my Metal Rose embellie.

Wanted to fill in some of the openness of the Green pattern paper, I half-hazzardly added some stitching.  The beautiful sentiment (My Everything) is from Verses Rubberstamps, stamped in Ranger Coffee Archival on White, then cut with Spellbinders Circle Die.  I stippled some Carmel ink ink over the sentiment and sponged the edges in Chocolate.  To create the Rose, I embossed a piece of TSS Metal with a Texture Fades folder and die cut with Spellbinders Rose Creations Die. (Note you may have to run this through your machine a few times or add a shim).  I sanded the embossing to add highlight, then scrunched and bent the metal and added a Pearl Brad.
