So Sketchy? Sunday - and Cupcake Challenge

I'm killing two birds with one stone tonight, so to speak, so onto our weekly sketch....or lack of it. I do have a sample for you but this week is going to be a little different. Rather than a specific sketch, this week's challenge is to design your card according to a few basic rules. Here they are:

1. Your card front should be a single, matted layer....not lots of layers, keep it clean and simple

2. Your card should include an image on the front and a sentiment on the front

3. Your card should include only one embellishment

4. Your card should include some "white space"

Here's the sample:



Simple...ah but is it? This is the 2nd version - my first one was awful! All products used (except the ribbon) is from CTMH. So I'm curious to see what you come up with! And this is your last chance to enter the blog candy drawing for the month of March so be sure to enter a link to your artwork on Mister Linky (at the bottom of the post) by noon on Friday to be eligible!

I also created a card tonight for Taylor's Cupcake Challenge:



I changed the sketch a tiny bit by using a rectangle image instead of an oval but that worked best with the image. Stamps from Shirley's 2 Girls, paper is SEI and cardstock is PTI. I trimmed the cage with a sparkly gel pen and colored the bird with a Copic marker and then added a couple tiny blue rhinestones to the scallops at the bottom. If you want to play along with Taylor's challenge, here is the sketch:

Once again, here are the details for the So Sketchy Sunday challenge:
