Double duty again...

Well, this card is also playing double duty to fullfill two challenges. I can get more challenges in that way (wink). The design of the card is from this week's Sketch Saturday sketch challenge. It's also for the challenge at the secret crafter saturday challenge. And yes, I know it's not Saturday, it's Thursday, but hey... it's almost Saturday and I get these things done as soon as I can.
Enough digressing.. you want to know what the challenge was... 1, 2, 3. 1 image, 2 papers, 3 embellies. I technically added a fourth embellishment but I just thought that square was too plain without something.

Papers: Basic Grey Urban Prairie
Stamp: VAP!
Accents: Ric Rack, American Crafts; epoxy stickers, Michaels
Tools: Nestabilities circles, Cuttlebug vintage corners

Thanks for coming by. Hope you have a great day!

I was inspired by these at BHG because they were in my color scheme. I set out to make one this year. I didn't follow the directions at BHG. Instead, I did a little more searching and then just did it my way. Most people suggest painting your stryofoam ball in a complimentary color first. I skipped this step because I was in a hurry, but I do recommend you do that. I used a 4 in styrofoam ball, 3 different size ornaments and a glitter pick. I also used a dowel rod which I covered in washi tape and a planter from the dollar tree. My planter was originally bronze, but with a few coats of spray paint it became silver. You also need some foam for the planter and something to cover it with. I used moss and blue glass pebbles. The pebbles give the bottom some weight. I think this makes a much better centerpiece for this ar
