When I saw this sketch at Party Time Tuesdays, I thought of the PERFECT products.  Luckily, with a holiday (and extra day off) this week, I had time to actually work with the sketch! Normally, I don't follow sketches this closely, but it was PERFECT for the products I had in mind.
This is my take on the sketch:

Card 1

Card 2

Card 3

These are all 8.5"x 5.5" cards that I sent to some very special women. For the inside of the 1st card, I masked part of the sentiment to thank this particular woman for her extreme generosity:

I used Sunset buttons, Colonial White waxy flax, Irresistables (Miracle), Dimensional Elements (Flowers), flowers (dyed with Desert Sand reinker) and various Colonial White ribbons.
