Inspirational Card Sketches DT # 19 and Mojo Monday #89 (Contest)

My first card for New Inspirational Card Sketch!!!! This week Dawn is hosting the ICS #19. Here is the card I made using the Sketch this week. (Now you can turn it, flip it, stretch it and rotate it).
I stamped the image "Woman in Waiting" (Stampabilities) onto white c.s. using Brilliance Graphite Black ink. I colored the image with my Prismacolor pencils and then blended the colors with OMS. Used classic rectangle Nestabilities to cut it out. I sponged around the image with Brown craft ink. Patterned paper "The old World" from DCWV. For sentiment "In my Heart" I used "Ticketed" stamp set from Autumn Leaves. To finish the card, I added some Dew Drops , Gemstones and piercings.

In my card I used my NEW stamps from Verve Stamps -Floral Symphony and Circular Sayings stamp sets. The stems I stamped in Moss Green craft ink (ColorBox). Then I stamped the flowers, colored them, cut them out and popped up on panel. The panels are sponged Conch Shell (Sea Shell from Ranger) ink. My sentiment is from the Circular Sayings set.I finished off with a ribbon, buttons, gemstones, Dew Drops and piercings.
