Creative Sketches Challenge Card

Welcome to this week's Creative Sketches Challenge!  This week it's all about flowers and lace, as you can see in the sketch below.  Fun challenge - come play along!  You can view the Creative Sketches blog HERE, and all the instructions to download your challenge card are on the site.


I combined the 2 stamps sets, Nature Walk (saying and bee) and Field Flowers (flower and stem), for my card.  I used the retired designer paper, Botanical Gazette for the background.  I used a barely wet watercolor brush to pick up the color on the large flower image after I stamped it on a piece of Very Vanilla c/s using a Cherry Cobbler IP.  Distressed the edges of the dp with my distress tool and added some Cherry Cobbler brads.  I like how the card turned out; can't wait to see what you come up with!  Thanks for stopping; here's the details on my card:


Stamps: Nature Walk, Field Flowers
Inks: Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Old Olive
Papers: Very Vanilla, Early Espresso, Cherry Cobbler, Botanical Gazette DP
Accessories: Big Shot, Vintage Wallpaper EF, Watercolor Brush, Early Espresso Satin Ribbon, Cherry Cobbler Brads, Distressing Tool, Scallop Trim Border Punch, Round Tab Punch, Scissors, Sponge, Dimensionals, Paper Piercing Tool
