Treasured Friend

You know how one blog takes you to another which takes you to another which takes you to another?  Well, in my blog journeying I ended up on a new blog to me: Authentique Paper.  I just love the Authentique paper line...it's another favorite of mine.  I recently purchased some small 6x6 pads at Archiver's during a sale (of course!) and was eying the Genuine one to use.
I saw a sketch challenge on the Authentique blog that I decided to enter.  Here is the sketch:

And here is my very liberal interpretation of it:

I turned it on it's side and after trying some different shapes for those mats I decided to leave them off.  I used some Ranger Distress Ink (Faded Jeans) and also cut a rickrack strip with a Papertrey Ink die that is adhered to the chevron.  The lacy circle was cut with a Spellbinder and I used some Papertrey Ink twine to tie a generous bow.  The sentiment was done with a Close to My Heart stamp with Versamark embossed with some Adirondack powder.

This is quite a different card for me but I had fun doing it and enjoyed the result!

I entered this in the Authentique Sketch Challenge HERE.

Happy Monday and Happy Crafting!
