Hello friends. It is time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and it is my turn to host. I chose a sketch to follow. Sketches are a great place to start when you need a starting point or a little inspiration..
Here is the sketch
and here is my card
I embossed the white panel with an older EF from Lifestyle Crafts called Courtyard 2 - it was a set of 2. The pattern paper is some older SU paper. The flower and leaves are from a new SU set called Happiness Abounds. I stamped them in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with SU Blends - Lt. and Dark Daffodil Delight, with a touch of Lt. Pumpkin Pie for shading. The leaves were colored with Lt. and Dark Old Olive. After die cutting them, I mounted the flower with foam tape and glued the leaves under the petals. I stamped the sentiment from SU Happy Thoughts and die cut with an Ornate Frames die, then mounted it with foam tape also.
Be sure to check out all the fabulous cards by the team over at Seize the Birthday. I hope you will join us for this fun challenge.
Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful day.
Happy Stamping,
JoAnn
Thanks for the sketch challenge. I don't rember doing one before. I struggled at first, but I did use up some of my PP, which I have a ton of. I like ho wyou used some texture and the colors of your card too. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the sketch JoAnn! Let's do that again! I had fun with this and appreciated using pp instead of trying to color in a background scene to make it look more realistic!
