GSD Turtle Friend

Hi there. I'm stopping by today with a card I've made using the super cute Gerda Steiners Designs Progressive Challenge image called Hello Friend Turtle . This image is June's GSD Progressive Challenge . Please click the link to find the challenge and details of how to join in. I was having a blank moment so I went on the search for a Sketch Layout Challenge and I found the perfect one called Sketch N Scrap . I've used this current Sketch N Scrap - Card Sketch Layout #100 . I've coloured using Touch Five Markers and pencils. I fussy cut the image out. The sentiment is from a Polkadoodles digital stamp set called Sticks & Bones . I used an embossed folder and distress inked it for the background. Then I created a wood effect card using a score board and coloured with distress inks. The two blue strips have been stamped with Clearly Besotted Stamp  set called Background Builder. The foliage is a M&C Boutique die cut sold at  The Works .

Then layered her up on a butterfly stamp background which I've coloured and some paper I embossed and distress inked using a Pocket watch and small script Tri-Boss Universal Embossing Folder. The sentiment is from a Peachy Keen Stamp set PKSC-04 April 2012 . I added a pearl and a die cut heart lock.
