Limited Supplies Challenge!

Hi and welcome back for another Freshly Made Sketch challenge.  This week, the lovely and talented Cindy Hall has given us this sketch:


Can I just say up front that I really struggled with this card - not because of the sketch but due to having limited supplies on hand.  This is why I don't go to crops, etc because I always want what I haven't got!  Having said all that, after several attempts, this is my final card.

I stenciled onto both the card base and the larger white panel using a Tim Holtz stencil and embossing paste.  The floral image was white embossed onto vellum and colored on the back using Copics.  It was adhered to a white panel using vellum tape and lots of burnishing!  

Thanks for visiting.  Be sure to check out the inspiration from the rest of the Design Team.

 Products used:  

 Stamps:  Delicate Florals (Penny Black), Strictly Sentiments (WPlus9)
Ink:  Versamark, Old Olive
Cardstock:  Old Olive, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White, Vellum
Accessories:  White EP, Copic markers, Tim Holtz Bubble Stencil, Freckled Fawn Enamel Dots, American Crafts Twine, Wendy Vecchi Embossing Paste, Old Olive Reinker

 Cheers

    I know it was a struggle with your limited supplies, but it sure doesn't look like it's missing anything! I love those yellow flowers and you've created the perfect background! Love that sentiment too!

    I don't want to come across critical, but in case anyone wanted to get the floral set from Penny Black it is Delicate Florals. I have wondered how to use that set since I got it, now I have a beautiful card to copy!

      Thanks for letting me know, Lynn. I have both Dreamy and Delicate Florals and get them mixed up. I should have checked before writing my post :) I've now updated to show the correct stamp set name.

    I am SO the same at crafty get-togethers, Karren - you and I would be the ones just sitting, chatting, the whole time! LOVE the texture on this card, and I'm particularly taken with the way you've coloured the flowers. Beautiful!
