SSC221 & PPA112

Just a quick little card using the sketch from Stamping 411 this week:

ssc221

I took some artistic liberty and flipped the sketch, using the floral image that was already on the Beau Chateau Side Note as my focal point:

DSCF8230

I watercolored the pre-stamped image with my aquapainter;

added some embossed hearts and crochet trim; then stamped the sentiment from Style Beautiful in Not Quite Navy:
