Friend - two challenges in one card

This card reflects a combination of two challenges.  The first is a colour challenge by Creative Wishes.  The colours to be used:  whisper white, chocolate chip, pretty in pink and soft suede.
The second was a sketch challenge by Stampinforthesoul Friday Sketch Frenzy.

I started out by making my own designer paper using the colours of the challenge.  Using the stamp set:  With All My Heart, I randomly stamped then embossed the images with white embossing powder.  With a sponge, I applied Soft Suede ink and Pretty in ink over the embossed images, wiping away the excess ink with a paper towel.
The central image was stamped with chocolate brown on Whisper white card stock, then clear embossed.  A second image, also stamped in chocolate grown was punched with a 1 1/4" punch, and clear embossed.  The central pink flower was cut with the flower trio punch.  The image was completed by a pink rhinestone
brad in the center. This image was matted with chocolate chip card stock.
Behind this image is a piece of Pretty In Pink card stock, matted with chocolate chip
Other:
Stamp:  With all My Heart
Ink:  Chocolate chip, Soft Suede, Pretty in Pink, Whisper White, Versamark
Paper:  Chocolate chip, Whisper white, Pretty in Pink
Other:  Oval scallop punch, 1 1/4" round punch, white embossing powder, clear embossing powder, chocolate chip grosgrain ribbon,double circle punch (for chocolate chip flower centers)
