From Courtney's Closet Challenge-Love Bug

My...where has this week gone? I almost ran out of time to make a card for this week's From Courtney's Closet Challenge. This is about as close as I could find to Magenta Libby! This is the retired Purely Pomegranate paper from Stampin Up.

I used a sketch designed by Stephanie for Taylored Expression's sketch challenge (TECC52SH). You can see Stephanie's sketch here.

Be sure to visit Taylor's blog here and see all of her fun sketch challenges going on for the one year anniversary of her Cupcake sketch challenges!

Stamps: Studio G dollar stamp from Michaels- Love Bug

Cardstock: Pomegranate, Certainly Celery, SU! DP

Ink: Mememto Black, image colored with Prisma's/OMS

Misc: Misc ribbon, paper piercer, Martha Stewart border punch, nestabilities

Card Size: A2

    Super cute Sue!! I used Purely Pomegranate too - so definitely close enough! :-) I love the top of your card - it looks a lot like the sleeve on her outfit! Love it! Thanks for playing. :-)
