It's been a bit of a "trying" week for me due to my Carpal Tunnel issues. I'm late posting for the Annabelle Sketch challenge and I wasn't even sure I was going to participate. I went in yesterday and got my 2nd Cortisone shot (they only last me about 3-4 weeks) and this morning my hand was feeling halfway normal so I went ahead and finished my card. 
The sketch this week was hard for me. Those scallops threw me for a loop but I managed to get them done. I'm combining two challenges today. Anymore I try to do that to save wear and tear on the hand. Which by the way I'm scheduled for surgery on April 8th so hopefully once that is over and I heal up I'll be back to stamping without pain again. I look forward to that.
This card also is for Hope's Cupcake Inspiration Challenge. I love the Hot Pink/Chocolate color combo so that's what I drew my inspiration from for this card. I used stamps from Annabelle's Floral Stems and Flowers with Love (the sentiment) for this card. Card Stock: Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, Designer Paper by Bo Bunny. I wrapped some chocolate ric-rack around my scallop, added Blossom Sprinkles for my "bling" and spritz my flowers with Melon Mambo ink using the Color Spritzer tool.Ink used, Chocolate Chip, Melon Mambo. I also used Oval Punches.
Please stop by the Annabelle Blog to check out the othe DT members cards. They are really awesome!
