Hey all,
Just a quick post this week as I'm buried in a few things but it's sketch time with Just Us Girls and Andrea has cooked up a GOOD ONE!
I can't wait to see what you come up with - By the way - the "flower" doesn't have to be a flower - it can be any shape or interpretation that comes to mind... remember the sketch is an inspiration to get you going.
Here's my take on it. I must say a hearty THANK YOU to my friend Hanne. She sent me a few hand made embellishments and I decided this was the perfect sketch to use to capitalize on them. I did the sketch quite literally, right down to the flower stem, since I was pressed for time.
I inked up one of my fave SU background stamps in chocolate ink then adhered my layers.
Close up of the flower - I think it was cut from PTI's new die - one layer is paper - the next is felt - topped with a button and some of the wonderful baker's twine.
I didn't stamp a sentiment on the inside until I know who this is going to - sometimes I need a lot of room to write my thank yous but I try to do something on the inside when I can.
It's all pretty self-explanatory - great sketch Andrea - be sure to visit the rest of the team (in my sidebar -->) and check out their projects and please stop by our new Featured Designer for November, the talented Cheryl Rowley - she has a dy-no-mite project to share as well!!
Thanks all and have a great weekend!
Hugs n Smiles,

Great color combo Pam! I love the flower embellie your friend sent you and the rich brown ribbon stem on your card.
Love the crackled back drop on your card Pam and even though you followed the sketch "literally" it's done to perfection from the inside out!
