I saw this challenge when it went up last Saturday on Basic Grey Challenges and decided to go for it - I had made some cards using their last sketch but didn't finish in time to post. Here's the sketch:
So, on Monday, I went for it - busy evening stamping, colouring, cutting, distressing, inking - the usual. Delighted with the card I made, left it on the desk to photograph in the morning and post on the site. But - when I got up - I realised that I had forgotten one important rule of the Basic Grey Challenges ..... I hadn't used ANY Basic Grey!!! (Anyone know if there is a Crate Paper Challenge blog???). D'OH!!!!
Back to the drawing board last night - using the same sketch and Basic Grey Archaic papers, here is the only-just-in-time entry:
And a wee close up of the image - Hero Arts stamp, stamped in Shadow soft green, highlighted with colouring pencils and a bit of bling:
Thanks for looking!!
P.S. Jennifer has some amazing blog candy on her blog. I can't get the sidebar link to work, though, but use the link above to check it out.

Oh no, what a shame although this card is stunning. I love the stamp you have used for the centre and the BG papers you have used.
Thank you for trying again and for joining us in the BG challenge this week.

Think we've all done boo boos like that at some stage. The final card is just stunning and now you even have a spare non-basic grey card.
