STV Sketch Spotlight 16

Good morning, and happy Monday! Time for a new STV Sketch Spotlight! Today's card was thrown together in about 10 minutes, but with stuff I already had on hand, let me explain, it is kind of a lesson in "use what you have!"
I had already stamped colored and cut out these three individual pieces, the flowers and basket from "Spring Basket" and the chicks from "Basket Blessings" , just coloring one day, not intending to use any of them together, just *some* time! I didn't have my sample ready for this morning so I grabbed these three images from my "grab and go" pile. When I start with DP, I usually pick the colors for images from that, but I had no purple papers! Our cards can sometimes get really matchy match when we work this way and don't have enough contrast, purple and yellow are complementary colors so I saw putting the chicks with these flowers would look really nice together and allow me to pick form some of my yellow and green papers I had in the Basic Grey Origins pack(first pack on top of the stack, I have to go volunteer ina few minutes so didn't even have time to try others LOL!). I used an eggplant colored ink for the "In Stitches" stamped on the printed panels to tie in the Vibrant Violet base. (I intended to use a smaller stitch but couldn't find the set at first glance but this one was stil out on my table, that's how rushed I was!! It actually looks kind of nice with the weave on the basket and frilly flowers, hmmmm... LOL!))

Gingham is 5/8" Pure Luxury. The basket was stamped onto white paper and shaded with grays to look like a white basket, but since I ended up putting it with these blue and purple flowers and violet base, I went over the gray areas with a pale Lavender BV31 Copic to unify the colors.

Be sure to sure the tag STVSKSP16 when you upload you new creation with the sketch to the StampTV gallery! I hope you play along and good luck winning the free stamps!
