I fought the card...and the card won!


Hi everyone! Happy Wednesday! Here is my card for today's Sketch Challenge on SCS, SC197.
Wow...this sketch kicked my butt!! This is the fourth attempt at this sketch that you see here...the other three attempts have landed in the garbage pile!!!
I think I have over pierced with my template, and can no longer seem to get a straight line, which totally drives me NUTS!!!
I went with a masculine look for this card, and I also made it a birthday card, since I never seem to have enough on hand when I need them. The DSP is Urban Garden and the sentiment is from Upsy Daisy. I stamped the grass from Inspired By Nature behind the sentiment in Kiwi Kiss & Baja Breeze.
Thanks SO much for stopping by...I think it's time for me to go to bed!!! LOL!
Recipe:
Stamps: Upsy Daisy & Inspired By Nature
Paper: Basic Grey, Kiwi Kiss, Whisper White & Urban Garden DSP
Ink: Basic Grey, Kiwi Kiss & Baja Breeze
Accessories: Paper Piercing Tool & Template, Baja Breeze Striped Ribbon, Earth Elements Brads & Dimensionals
