Two Challenges in One

.Today I'm combining two challenges....one a color challenge, one a sketch.  The color challenge comes from Pals Paper Arts and the sketch come from Create with Connie and Mary.  For the PPA118 Challenge we are to use Early Esspresso, Soft Suede and River Rock.  Here is the Sketch from CCMC174.....

My card uses the pear image from Faith In Nature.  I watercolored it in the three colors for the color challenge, cut the image out with my oval cutting system from Creative Memories, and topped it on an Espresso scallop oval.  Other supplies used were:  Square Lattice EF, Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border, Vanilla Seam Binding Ribbon, Brown half pearls (Close To My Heart).  I faux stitched around the whole card and spritzed the whole thing with my Champagne Shimmer Paint/alcohol mix.  I love, love, love the shimmery look!  Thanks for looking!
