I will make sure to post it early this morning after posting this post. Sorry!

"YOUR CHOICE"
Enter one style or both this week.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is my take on the Sketch:
For my card, I had a great time water coloring and cutting out Water Lily from Whimsy stamps. Isn't she just so fun?!!!
The paper is from Scenic Route Sonoma which I have had in my stash forever!! I just love the soft yellow and pink together. The image was cut out and adhered with dimensionals to a background dry embossed with Swiss Dots on Very Vanilla cs. The coral pink ribbon is from American Crafts and has a sparkle glitter added to it. The stitched yellow ribbon is Dashes, Dots and Checks.
The envelope in the background is created with Priscilla's 6X6 think style envi kit found here, using some golden Bazill, Sonoma dp and a large star spacer.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is lovely! The image is so sweet, the papers and colors are fabulous and your stitching is frosting on the cake! Great job on the "dotty" challenge! So happy you could have fun with us this week at the Creative Card Crew.
Chris, you just cannot appreciate all the details on this card unless you click and enlarge. Wow, the stitching is awesome! Such pretty color combinations too. And your little scene you created with the image is wonderful. Just a delightful, fun card, one that would put a smile on the face of the lucky recipient. Your envelope is also a work of art, just beautiful. Sounds like your having a bit of a time in the Olsen household, hope the week gets better.

Hi Chris - I am going to have to oinvent new words for your cards - I keep using the same old words over and over - but again, this is adorable! I love that image from Whimsey - she is beautiful in your hands my friend!! I love the pearl swirl, the colours and gorgeous DP - the stitching - everything about this card says 'Chris!' Beautiful! Love your new photo too! God bless you my friend - with health and peace in your household! {{{hugs}}}

This is amazing! I love the layering and all the details. Thanks for playing the Paper Garden projects challenge.
Beautiful, love all the details! Thanks for joining us at Practical Scrappers!
Hi Chris~
I love this card! Your water lily and fairy are so beautiful. It is so easy to see the sketch in this card...it is a perfect match! Your embellishments are wonderful, as is your watercoloring. Chris, I love how you used the pearls...as a border in some areas. The yellow is beautiful with the rose colors. I love the ribbon, and the yellow stitching makes a big impact, also. This is surely a "CHRIS CARD!"
He IS Able,
Traci S.
Beautiful, Chris! I love all of the stitching and the pearls...and of course the Whimsy image :) Thanks for playing at CCC!

Chris, this is just so gorgeous and in my favorite color too! That dp is beautiful and of course I love the scalloped stitching! That little fairy with her big watering can is just darling and you have colored her beautifully! You've really outdone yourself with this one!
Gorgeous!
