How can I pass up on Silke's challenge? I first tried to do the shaped card - I went through about ten sheets of paper trying to create something. So I scraped that idea. Then I thought hmmm...I always like the blackout game, but that would mean doing a shaped card - not again. I settled on the middle row, pink, embossing, and pearls. 
I am also entering this card into the Jugs 100th sketch challenge. It's so hard to play all the challenges that are out there, but I am trying to do more. I really liked their sketch this week and I thought it fit this beautfiul Flourishes With Gratitude set.
Thanks for stopping by. Have an awesome weekend!
Recipe:
Stamps: Flourishes (With Gratitude)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Paper: Close to My Heart (old olive); Me & My Big Ideas (forever watercolor)
Accessories: ribbon (stash); Recollections (silver pearls)
