Sweet Sunday Sketch #6

Yep... I'm back!!! Two posts in the same night... WOW!!!

Anyway.. I missed Karen's 'Sweet Sunday Sketch' last week because my BEAUTIFUL family and I were away camping (you can read all about it here), but I'm back this week to participate and I think I will JUST make it in time.

Here is the sketch that Karen gave us to work with:-


And here is the card I came up with:-


Now this is a VERY DIFFERENT colour combo for me... I started with my usual SAFE colours of PINK and GREEN, but thought it was about time I got brave and tried something new... sooooo out came my Colour Coach and it ASSURED me that these colours would go together.

So the base is Choc Chip and I've layered it with some pieces of the Prints DSP in So Saffron and Rose Red, then added another layer of Choc Chip and Whisper White which I've stamped my image on using the gorgeous Botanical Blooms , one of the Sale-a-bration sets. Given Sale-a-bration ends here in OZ tomorrow, I thought I'd give it one last hoorah!!! I've stamped the image in So Saffron and Certainly Celery and the sentiment is from Short and Sweet and also stamped in So Saffron (I'm actually thinking that I possibly should've stamped it in Rose Red, but never mind!!) I also added some Certainly Celery Wide Grosgrain across the centre and some Certainly Celery Brads on either side. I don't have any Rose Red Ribbon (Unbelievable I KNOW!!! - I MUST get some!!) so I used my trusty Rose Red Marker and coloured in some Very Vanilla Wide Grosgrain to create my little tag.

Hope you like my BRAVE attempt!!

Thanks for stopping by.

Here's what I used:-

Stamps:- Botanical Blooms, Short and Sweet
Card:- Choc Chip, Whisper White, Prints DSP in Rose Red and So Saffron
Ink:- So Saffron, Certainly Celery
Accessories:- Certainly Celery Brads, Certainly Celery Wide Grosgrain Ribbon, Very Vanilla Ribbon (Wide) and Rose Red Marker.

Botanical Blooms!!!

I absolutely LOVE this Sale-a-bration set 'Botanical Blooms'. It is such a simple and pretty set with endless possibilities, and even I can see that those possibilities don't all include PINK. Phew I hear you say. However, the two cards I've just finished and am going to show you are indeed made with Pink and Green.

I've used the same layout for both cards, the only difference is the flower arrangement and the ribbon placement.

For this first one I've used my paper piercer to pierce around a layer of Regal Rose and Very Vanilla, which has also been popped up on dimensionals. I've also added a Certainly Celery bow on the side. Oh and the Love You sentiment is from Short and Sweet.


This card is the very same layout except I've stamped three of the rounder flower and added just a dash of ribbon on the top.

I hope you like these, and I hope that the lovely people who i am so very blessed and lucky to have be a part of my life, like them too. They don't actually know that they are on there way yet, so I hope it's a lovely suprise.

Bye for now.
