Whew, I got my sketch challenge card done before the end of the month!  I was cutting it close a wee bit there.  I don't have many There She Goes sets (the company who is the sponsor this month), but I do have these wonderful fireplace building sets with additions for fall holidays.  The details are fantastic!  I chose to use the stone fireplace for my card.

I wanted a rustic feel, so I chose Ocean Tides for my card base and some coordinating muted patterns for the background strips.  The fireplace stones were colored to match.  It's a little unusual, but I really like the pop of color.  Both the fire and the clock were stamped on a separate piece of white and then cut out and glued in place.  The word "home" is actually part of a longer sentiment, but I just selectively inked the one word.  Fits perfectly!
