Waterlilies and Dragonflies

It's Wednesday, which means it is time for a "What If? Wednesday Sketch".  You have two weeks to enter your card using the sketch posted on the Repeat Impressions blog...The House That Stamps Built.  All participants will have a chance to win a $25 Repeat Impressions gift certificate.  I hope you'll play along with us.

This week's sketch looks like this:

Well you already can see, I deviated from the sketch like I always do.  Sketches to me are starting points, and if your design takes you from that starting point it is okay.  At least that's how I justified it.

I stamped the beautiful Repeat Impressions image "Waterlilies and Dragonflies" (9204-M) with Memento Tuxedo Black dye ink.  I colored the image with Copic markers and Spectrum Noir Markers (pinks).  I added a few highlights with a Sakura Gelly Roll pen.  Then to really give this circled image some sparkle I sprayed it with Sparkle Sheer Shimmer Spritz by Tsukineko. 

Since my original image was a circle, I then took the liberty of making the panel below it with a Nestabilities lace circle die made from white cardstock. I pop-dotted the image onto this.  The larger panel is from patterned paper from Pebbles.  It is framed with white and pink cardstock.  A sheer white ribbon and bow, along with three clear glass beads (inspired by the sketch, yet moved) complete this card.
