I get lots of emails for different sketch challenges and this weeks challenge at Unscripted Sketches caught my eye and I decided to give it a go. I also decided to combine it with another challenge going on over at Dynamic Duos.
I started with a simple white card base and stamped with Composer's Dream. Little did I know I had stamped it upside down until I removed the stamp. I really should place arrows on the my stamps that say "Top" and "Bottom". I did manage to cover up my booboo with the bird from Punch Potpourri. I then took a piece of Marina Mist CS and punched a hole and placed the band over the Composer's Dream stamp. The flowers were stamped out twice and then slit to just shy of the centre so that I could give them a little dimension and have the petals appear like they were more individual petals. To tie the top and bottom together I punched out the leaves from the Two Step Bird Punch and placed them cascading from the flowers and under the bird.
I hope you enjoy it.

Nice choice of images with lots of pretty elements. Thanks' for joining us at Dynamic Duos this week.
ReplyDeleteI view boo-boos as embellishment opportunities (although I seem to manage to adhere my entire card front upside down at least once a week) ... so glad you joined us at Unscripted Sketches.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I love the technique you used on the flowers - it does give them some dimension. As for the upside down stamp....that is what artistic licence is all about - turning booboos into something pretty! Thanks for sharing your card with us this week at Unscripted Sketches :)
