Hi, Friends.....
This is my second post of the day!!! Wow. I must be feeling better, huh? :) This card was made following the July sketch challenge at Quick Quotes. It is obviously more of a layout sketch, but I rose to the occasion to try my hand at making a card with it. Besides, it looked like a good way to use a bunch of my scraps. Lots of layers means lots of scraps. Oh, yes!!!
Here's my take.......
The lovely sentiment with the gorgeous font is from Inky Antics - Script Sentiments #1. I had been admiring this on my craft table for quite awhile and finally decided to stamp a whole bunch of the sentiments for future use. When I saw this sketch, I knew one of them would be perfect. This one is stamped with Olympia Green Versafine Ink.
Other supplies used include:
Prima flowers of various sorts
Distress Ink in Forest Moss and Antique Linen
Zva Swirl for sparkle :)
Want 2 Scrap - Adhesive Pearls
I really love the serene colors of this card with the touch of bling that the swirl provides. The sketch was a challenge to turn into a card, but I enjoyed the process. Hope you like it, too!!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful card. I like how you turned a scrapbook sketch into a card.
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever way to use that layout sketch and what a glorious result! I just love the serene green tones and lovely distressed look of the paper and layers...my favorite technique. Those flowers are perfectly placed and the blingy swirl is a wonderful accent. Makes me think of morning dew drops on flower petals!
ReplyDeleteLovely card - like the soothing colours
ReplyDeleteFabulous Janis - I would have run away from that sketch, but you really nailed it perfectly!
