As you all know I love working with sketches and this was a bit tricky because I wanted to combine it with some other elements of another challenge. I have used the sketch turned around with the flower as the large circle, the chair as the little flower, the ribbon as the band, and the sanded, 
inked, embossed playing card is the rectangle.The poppy is stamped over some smooshed watercolour paper (really thick and spongy and hard to cut out), and gold pen highlights added. The grey chair is distressed with blue and white inks.
Also, as you are probably aware by now, I like NOT putting sentiments on. It leaves a bit of room for someone to interpret for themselves ... and sometimes that is quite different from how it started out.
Stamp: IndigoBlu (I LOVE this stamp)
Die cut chair: Marianne
EF: Sizzix
