Believe…a sketch “challenge”
For today’s sketch challenge at Splitcoast, I chose to use Nature Silhouettes from the Kim Hughes Collection at Cornish Heritage Farms. My first challenge was the sketch itself, but the bigger challenge has been getting a good picture of the card. The gold here is really more of a soft brownish-gold. The first time I tried, it looked orange. Now it’s TOO gold. And I couldn’t figure out how to adjust the color in my photo editing software. (I get so aggravated when this happens. lol.)
Believe
I like my stamped images here, and I like the stitching, but something just still doesn’t sit right with me. I believe it’s the hemp tied too close to the center of the card. But I couldn’t figure out how to adjust for that and stick with the sketch. Overall, I think I like it. (I think. If I have time, I may fiddle with it some more.)
Back to the stamp room for me…lots to do. Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great day!

Very Beuatiful card
HOLY COW this is stunning M! I LOVE the colors, so gorgeous! You’ve totally inspired me to pull out my Earth Elements!!
I’m loving this card! Anything floral is my cup of tea and this one has such wonderful rich colours. I’ve had my eye on this set for some time — it’s on my wish list and you’re making it move up the ladder quickly
Beautiful, Michele!! I love the sketch turned on its side! These colors are some of my favorites — love the way you used them!
Gosh, I know exactly what you mean about the frustration of photographing sometimes. I swear, it often takes longer than stamping the card. Then in the end, in those cases, you have to settle for something that’s not a good representation…sigh… However, to my eyes–this looks beautiful. The cardstock matches the ink…I’ll try to picture it a softer, more brownish gold. Love these botanical image cards. You do them so well. It’s lovely, Michele!
I think you’re a little nutty…this card is gorgeous! IKWYM about the colors though…I adjust to get the paper the right color and then the primas are a totally different color! It doesn’t take away from the finished product though I’ll tell ya, this is beautiful!
WOW, SO pretty, M! I love that little tab!
This is so beautiful!! The images, colors, stamping off….everything is so lovely!!
