This week we have a great sketch by Carol and we are being sponsored by the Unity Stamp Company. If you haven't seen the fabulous stamps sets by Unity do check them out. They have some amazing quote stamps and other really cool designs.Unity Stamps not only provided a prize for our challenge, but also gave each member of the team a set of stamps to play with. Yeah how kind is that?
I got a really fabulous set called Folk Inspired and I'm sure I will be using it to make lots of cards over the coming weeks. Actually I quite fancy stamping on to material and doing some stitching too. Hmmm maybe something to take on holiday with me methinks.
On today's card I have used the heart scroll and a sentiment stamp from the set. I stamped them on to water colour card and then painted with Adirondack inks. To finish the design I added a couple of pearls and mounted the oval on to two shades of maroon card. The ribbon is dyed with Cranberry ink too (thanks again Ali) to match the image and papers.
If you would like to join in the challenge this week (don't forget we have a great prize up for grabs for some lucky person chosen by random org.) pop over to The Pink Elephant and check out Carol's great sketch for yourself. We would love to see your interpretations of the sketch.

This card looks really luxurious - I can't think of how else to describe it. Are there chocolates inside?
The scroll stamp is fabulous. Lucky you to have got your hands on a set.
