I had a chance to play along with Karen Giron's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge (#15) today too. Love this sketch and square cards, so I actually made two in different colour combos! The oval got me started. I wanted to use Fresh Flowers again, but this time just the top of the bouquet of roses placed just over the edge of the oval. I still didn't have oval nestabilities, so I had to run to one of the only scrapbooking stores in my area now--The Memory Keeper in Hamilton. First visit...found lots of fun and the papers and pearls I used on the two cards. The dancing gal and sentiment are my own created in Adobe Illustrator and printed on Gina K 120lb Pure Luxury cardstock.
I coloured the flowers and Wonder Girl with copics and pieced her skirt in matching paper. For the blue skirt I embossed soft sky cardstock with my Sizzix embosslits 'simple flower', cut out the shape and sponged lightly with blue bayou classic ink.
I absolutely love the little plum pearls on the pink card corners and Wonder Girl's skirt. ~Nancy

Very Pretty! I love the way you used the paper to frame the oval.
