And here is my card
I've used GCD Carnival papers and I punched out a decorative strip with a Martha Stewart punch to go along the botton. The image and sentiment are both from an Ethel and Murray unmounted sheet. They have been coloured in with promarkers.If you would like to join in with the Sketch Saturday challenge you find all the details here

Sorry it's a quick post I'm off to catch a train in 10 minutes.
I managed to make a masculine card too, so that was a bonus. Here is my take on the sketch
First of all I layered the card with a piece of burgundy cs. I then tore a piece of the DP to fit the card and rolled some of the edges over. I then sponge inked all around the edges with a distress ink. Next I added the buckle and ribbon, I had to sew the ribbon onto the buckle so I covered the stitching with some more ink. I then stamped out the image and sentiment from an Ethel and Murray set. So much fun these stamps. I clear embossed them too and then coloured the image with promarkers going over his glasses with a glaze pen. The image was then layered onto oval cs with 3D pads. The sentiment was also layered onto cs but I went over it with distess ink. I adhered these to the card. I then used a Quickutz flourish die to cut out the swirls with the DP. They looked too bright for the card so I went over these too with the ink. Lastly I put in the two large eyelets.

The images and sentiment are from an Ethel and Murray unmounted sheet set. I stamped them with black stazon and then clear embossed them. I've then coloured them with promarkers. For the sentiment layer I sponge inked all over it with a brown ink. The papers are from 3 Bugs in a rug and they are called Rhapsody. I then just added the gold brads to each of the corners.
And here is my take on the sketch
All the papers I have used are from a Stampin Up set called Wintergreen. The decorative strip across the middle has been punched with a Martha Stewart punch and the flourishes have been cut with a Quickutz flourish die. The image and sentiment are from an Ethel and Murray unmounted set. They are fab and there are some great sentiments. She has been coloured with promarkers and also I've highlighted some areas with a clear pen. The sentiment has been stamped with black stazon and then clear embossed.
