Peach Flowers

Hi all and welcome to sketch #501 at Freshly Made Sketches.  Wow, what a great week last week was when we celebrated 500 sketch challenges.  Our gallery was bursting with card eye-candy and it was wonderful to see so many players.  Our sketch this week is brought to us by Kim Singdahlsen and here's the card I made with it:

I've been having fun playing along in other challenges after a couple of years of not doing much more than fulfilling my DT commitments.  So this card was made with the following challenges in mind:  Tic Tac Toe (Stencil/Any Colour Ink/Birthday) and Time Out Challenge (Coloured Card Base with Twist of Embellishments - my embellishment is the little peach enamel heart).

The floral image on this card is created using layering stencils.  I've been really drawn to coral/peachy colours lately so I went in that direction for my flowers and matched them with a Peach Bellini card base which I embossed with the Subtle EF.  The sentiment is embossed with Calypso Coral EP which is a close-enough match and I added some striped paper and thin strips of black cardstock in the background.

Thanks for visiting!  Please check out the fabulous cards made by the rest of the design team.

Finally, before I go I would like to announce the winner of my blog candy offered up last week.  There were two NZ-based commenters on last week's post and as I have extra brand-new goodies to give away I will send both Lyn and Dawn T a prize.  Lyn and Dawn - thank you for your support.  Please email me by clicking on the blue envelope in the right-hand sidebar and let me know your mailing addresss.
