A Sketch Challenge

Hello Everyone!

Coming to you from Colorado, I am sharing my newest card for The Challenge.  This week we are working with a sketch~

Here is your sketch~

I know what you are thinking; my card does not look like the sketch.  Well, I know it is a stretch, but as I browsed through some new goodies, I happened upon this stamp and my mind went right to this sketch, with the cactus flowers being the banners and the green part of the cactus ( is there a name for this?) being the oval.  Obviously, I turned the sketch as well.


The whole card is colored with Peerless Watercolors- love them!  The white layer is just an unpainted area of watercolor paper.  I scored lines before starting, so I had a guide as to where to paint the background. 
I was going for intense color ( I think I achieved that, don't you?  LOL)  so added some shading with Prismacolor Pencils.  I have yet to decide whether or not I like the background, but I ran out of time, so it is what it is.
The sentiment is Avery Elle, from the Bright Days set.
And that fabulous image?  Well it is a Impression Obsession  stamp, designed by the uber talented Dina Kowal of Mama Dini's Stamperia. 
Ready for some more inspiration?  Check out what the rest of the girls have for you!
