JAI #155 Sketch Challenge

The challenge sketch at Just Add Ink this week had me a bit frazzled.  For some reason no amount of flipping, rotating or staring would get the creative juices flowing with this one.  But that's why we love challenges isn't it?  I left it for a few days and then came back to it with a fresh pair of eyes, and eventually some ideas started coming- not easily, but they did eventually come.

Here's the sketch......


And here's what I came up with.....




I used the "Up, Up and Away" stamp set, some old DSP and ribbon all from Stampin' Up and some dies from MFT.  Despite being completely stuck when I first saw the sketch, I'm happy to have eventually completed a card for the challenge.
