Fab Friday Challenge 27

While I have been card making for a while, I have just recently really gotten back into with a passion. And I have started to follow several "challenge" blogs. While I do try most of the challenge sketches and color combinations, this is the first one I have done that I really like and feel worthy of entering. 

The challenge was this sketch by Fab Friday:

And this is my card:

I used the "Thoughts and Prayers" Stamp Set. It is stamped in Soft Suede on Very Vanilla card stock and layered on top of Soft Suede card stock. This is mounted on a piece of DSP from the "Everyday Enchantment" series. The base of the card is Very Vanilla and it is finished off with a few brads in the corner. I hope that this will be just the beginning of cards that I enter in "challenge" blog contests.
