The Shabby Tea Room Goes Sketchy!

Hey there everyone!

Thanks for stopping in for our sixth Shabby Tea Room challenge - can you believe we're up to six already?  Wow.  We couldn't do it without all of you and your support and participation so THANK YOU!

This week is a sketch challenge from our fearless leader, Debbie.  She has given us this sketch for inspiration:

I must admit that my interpretation was *very* loosely based on this sketch... I used two horizontal panels at the top and bottom but moved the central image over a bit and added some ribbon:

The stamp is a new one I got from Stamping Bella: "Izzie Has a Daisy"...so super-cute!  I paper-pieced her skirt and colored the rest with my Copics.  The designer paper is from another new Basic Grey paper pad, Kioshi.  I paired it with Stampin' Up's Sage Shadow, More Mustard, and Perfect Plum.  I found the plum satin ribbon in my stash - I forgot I even had it but I'm sure glad I came across it!  :)

As you are reading this, my dear son and I are enjoying our final couple of days in Europe - today's schedule sees us traveling from Florence to Rome where we will visit St. Francis' Basilica, the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon and Piazza Navona.  Tomorrow is another jam-packed day at the Vatican museums, Sistine Chapel, St. Peter's Basilica, the Colosseum, Piazza Venezia and the Forum before heading home on Wednesday.

Don't forget to stop by the homes of the other very talented design team members to see how they did with Debbie's sketch:
