I Think I've Redeemed Myself

I *think.*

Today's episode was inspired by Amber over at the Viva la Verve Sketch Challenge at Splitcoast.  Remember last week's card inspired by a room in your home - the entryway, more specifically?  Well, we're still in the entry and Amber gave us some more wonderful inspiration pictures to get the mojo flowing.  I chose this one:

I like the country look with all the mouldings and the big mirror.  My eye was immediately drawn to the metal basket on the wall with the flower and leaves on it and I decided to use those colors as well as the light grey of the coat-rack/bench/mirror as the inspiration for my card.

Here's Amber's sketch:

And my card:

Recipe - Stamps:  Thankful Accents (Verve)  Ink: Rich Razzleberry  Paper: Rich Razzleberry, Basic Black, Certainly Celery, light grey Bazzill textured, Night and Day DP  Accessories: Nestabilities, Swiss Dots embossing folder, Rich Razzleberry grosgrain ribbon, slot punch, button, silver cord, paper piercer, adhesive pearls

It might be a *bit* dark but I like these colors together and it was fun to get back at it this morning.  Now I suppose I should do some laundry and tidy up since I've been slacking in that department this week.  Thanks for stopping by - see you tomorrow!
