I used the latest sketch from retro sketches to create my card. I rarely join sketch challenges because I find them so difficult. I loved this sketch though, so I wanted to play along.
I didn't have any paper or ink as bright and vibrant as the purple in the photo, so I softened the colors a bit by choosing lavender and a purple scrap that I had laying around.
The black layer and the bottom of the card base were cut using Curved Rectangles from Spellbinders.
Please be sure to visit the rest of the FYI Design Team to see their gorgeous work. Their links are on my sidebar.

Beautiful Sara! I love how you did the black border bits...adds an extra elegance to the card!
Sara, I love it! I love the splash of purple and the twine.
I find sketches to be especially challenging, too, but you did a fantastic job with this one! the poppies are beautiful, and I love what you did with the twine!
You did a great job combining challenges Sara! The black background shape is so interesting and really looks wonderful with your bright yellow flowers! So glad you played along with us at RetroSetches!

Beautiful card, Sarah! Love these colors! Thank you so much for playing with us at RetroSketches!
Such a beautiful card. The lavender and yellow look great together.
gorgeous card. I love how you paired the purple with the yellow. The black background makes it all so striking.
I love your take on the combination of these challenges. The black panels make the main image pop so beautifully. Love the colors you've used and the twine finishes it off beautifully.
A fabulous take on the inspiration photo Sara - love the botanical stamps.
