Scrapbook Sketch to Card

Each month a member of the Club Scrap design team offers up a challenge for everyone to try.  This month Donna challenged us all to take a sketch and flip it....  either a scrapbook sketch into a card or a card sketch into a scrapbook layout.  I thought it sounded like fun so I went in search of a scrapbook layout to turn into a card.  I happened upon this sketch that I thought looked like fun and it just so happened to fit in perfectly with this month's kit - Garden Shed...

Ideas for Scrapbookers

And here is the card I came up with following the scrapbook lo sketch....

I stamped the background with the herb stamps (using VersaMark ink & Clear EP) included in the kit.  I then die-cut the honey comb paper using 2 different size hexagon dies from spellbinders.  The bee, snail and sentiment were all stamped then adhered to the card.  I added the flowers but it still looked a bit bare so I made some scratchy lines using a brown gel type pen.  Each of the flowers has a faux gemstone either in harvest yellow or clear.

It's not an exact replica and I used image stamps in the background instead of text but I like how it turned out.  Similar enough to show the inspiration but still mine in my own quirky way.

Have you ever tried to flip flop a sketch from scrapbook to card or visa versa?  How did yours turn out?
