Is this not one fabulous sketch? For my card, I used some new goodies that just arrived this week - new colors from Simon Says Stamp and a new set designed by WP9.
I started by cutting a stitched circle and white-embossing my sentiment. I then placed it on the card base and drew a light pencil line around the circle so I knew where to stamp my flowers.
I only used the outline image from this builder set and stamped them in some of the new SSS colors - Duckling, Melon, Sunkist and Hollyhock. I then stamped a few dots in Jellybean to tie the flowers together.
The banners were sponged in Jellybean and Melon inks before being die-cut. Some silver thread was dropped behind the circle and some enamel dots added before calling my card done.
The design team have created some wonderful cards with this sketch so I hope you'll check them out and give this sketch a go. Thanks for visiting and thanks again to the team of wonderful ladies at The Paper Players for inviting me to join you for the last six months.
I'm also entering this into the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge of Anything Goes.
