Touch of Texture for FMS 248

Sorry it's been so long!  I don't have any excuses really but I have been scrapbooking - my first attempt & it is a slow process!  I am making an album of our recent holiday to Hong Kong.  However, Stampin' Up has a new Annual Catalogue (well new as of June 1st) and I have some very cool new stamps and thinlits that need to be used!  

This is a card that I made for a sketch challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches using my new Touches of Texture stamp set.  I did use my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to 'line up' the colours more easily as I have the set in wood mount but I don't think it needs to be precise.  I used some of the new Copper Metallic Thread to wrap around for the horizontal element.  The sentiment is from Balloon Celebrations, and punched out with the now retired Washi Label Punch and popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals.  I also used a long retired distressing kit to rough up the edges of the stamped layer and sponged the edges with the 'Tea Stain' ink that was part of the kit.  It has come out quite yellow looking so I think something like So Saffron would be a reasonable substitute, or even Daffodil Delight matching the flower colour. This is the sketch that my card (somewhat loosely!) is based on:

And my take on the sketch:
