Anenome

 Hi!  Today's sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches was designed by Jacquie Southas and I have to admit I played "Stretch the Sketch" a tad to come up with my card.


I had had this embossing folder for quite some time (at least a year I think) and had never used it.  Then I saw there were co-ordinating stencils, so bought them and when they arrived, I wanted to use them both straight away (go figure!)  I thought that the curves and the leaves at the bottom of the image sort of looked a bit like the sketch so decided to go for it.  I stenciled and embossed the image and then die-cut with the co-ordinating die.  I then partially die-cut the bottom of the die from some white cardstock and dry-embossed that with the Burlap EF before adhering behind the florals.  This makes the image stand out a bit more.


The card base was a panel of Eiffel Tower which was also embossed with the same Burlap folder.  I adhered the image with foam tape and added a pre-foiled sentiment.
Thanks for visiting!  The design team have stuck to the sketch way better than me this week so please head over and check them out.

Karren, as one who often 'stretches the sketch' I love seeing how you've stretched it today! Only one question remains... where do you find this Eiffel Tower card stock?? You KNOW I've never met a grey that I didn't have to have! wink.
