Papertake Weekly Challenge # 20

This is the sketch for this weeks challenge over at Papertake Weekly.
And this is how I solved it this time:

I have used pale green bazzill as my base, green magic mesh, a lovely stamp from Penny Black and a sentiment stamp from somewhere else ( I do not remember ), and some patterned paper from another place I do not remember.

The colors I have used is normally not my style, but you have to try out different things once in a while, right?

And I have also taken some pictures of my cleaned craftroom/guestroom/office.
