there's a new diana sketch!

i don't know about you, but i've been missing sketchy thursdays quite a bit for the last few months, so i was pretty happy to discover that the guest DT and sketch artist at the paper variety this month is none other than diana fisher, and she's done us proud!

of course, i'm only just managing to get my card in under the wire, but some things NEVER change, right? i'm pleased with it, though, and it's a quite a faithful version. see?

(vintage: sheet music, lace, sewing pattern and fashion illustration; decorative tape: hambly, freeview, tim holtz; rub-ons: fancy pants; cardstock border sticker: crate paper; hydrangea petals: michaels; fabric rose: tim holtz; letter stickers: k and co; adhesives: tombow monorunner, scotch gluestick, gluedots, staples)

the other thing i like about this one is that it's the picture i had in my head when i saw this week's city crafter challenge, "a rose is a rose"; because i knew i still had some of those fancy pants rub-ons with the big cabbage roses, and that they'd be fun in a sort of funky collage card. i stand by that assessment, actually!

some of the other awesome goodies in this card were part of the super-cool happy mail i received this week; i'll tell you more about that tomorrow, and also announce the winner of my "SOS blog candy" giveaway, so do scroll down and enter if you haven't yet! ♥
