My first card challenge

So I've been following some awesome blogs to see what else is out there in the card-making world, and I have come across some pretty cool things and techniques. One thing that I have been seeing a lot of is card-making challenges. The host of the challenge will pick some sort of theme, or sketch, or color palette, etc, give you a time limit, a few examples and off you go! Since I'm always looking to try something new, I tried my hand at my first challenge.

Here is the inspiration sketch:



This is my creation for the Lawnscaping sketch challenge:





Stamps: Stampers Anonymous
Patterned Paper: Studio Calico
Ink: Ranger "Vintage Photo" distress ink

We'll see how I do!
