Here's Melissa's sketch
I made two different cards using this sketch and used the same StampTV Kit Stamp "Petals and Wings".
For those of you who follow my blog and my cards know that I'm a big technique fan and in this card I'm using a technique I found in the April/May issue of Technique Junkies Newsletter called "Copic Colored Embossing". It looks like delicate embroidery to me and so I paired it with the MS eyelet punch after embossing the panel wth a CB swiss dots EF. I used GKD Pure Luxury "In the Navy" for the base layer and the Copic embossing layer "Little Boy Blue" PL CS was used for the base layer.
Thanks for stopping by and now hop over to Geri's ubar talented daughter, Brenda's blog and see her fabulous creation using Melissa's sketch.

Beautiful cards Cheri! I love the look of that technique on the first card! The colors are so pretty on the second! Great coloring too!
Beautiful cards Cheri! I agree with Sharri and I love the technique you used for the first card, I will have to give it a try.
What a fun way to demo the versatility of this sketch. The split panel on your first card is genius as is the copic colored embossing - must give this a try! The second card is ever so sweet!
Love those stamps but really like what you did with the first one - never tried that and really like the outcome! Great cards!
So sweet and adorable! Tfs that Copic technique ...
Couple of cute cards! Love the gingham - nice and bright :)
I love the way you set the sentiment on top of the image without using a contrasting color to set them apart on the first card. I would never have thought of that but it looks spectacular. I'll definitely try it.
Both cards are lovely. I liked the embossing on the first card. Thanks for sharing.
Cheri, I love your card!!! The gingham is perfect for it!!
