INKspired Sketch Blog Hop 51 -

Hello and welcome to my blog.You may have arrived from the delightful Allison

and I can't wait to see what she has made...

Every fortnight Teneale Williams gives us a sketch that

we use and here is the one we are using
tonight

For my card tonight I started with Crumbcake as the base and used a strip of Dapper Denim that I embossed using the Petal Burst textured Impressions embossing folder

I wanted to use all the 2016-18 In Colors but the Emerald Envy seemed a bit over powering for the flowers.

So I settled on using the softer Pear Pizzazz for the leaves.

I forgot to go back and look at the sketch until

I had finished my card and then I realised

I had forgotten to add a sentiment.....No room now for a

sentiment. Oh well next time I will check the sketch..again

I used the versamark and stamped the little bunch of flowers from the stampset onto the

crumbcake so it didn't look so empty!

Added the Pearls and I was finished.

Thank you for stopping by

Now it is onto the amazing Barbara

INKspired Sketch Blog Hop 32 - Botanical Blooms

Welcome to our first hop for 2016 - #INK032

Hope everyone had a great relaxing time

over Christmas and New Year.

You may have hopped across from Narelle and I can't wait to see what she has done...

If you have come to my blog first then grab a cuppa and sit n relax whilst you hop around all the blogs

Teneale has given us a fantastitic sketch - sometimes I over think these..
I should just go with what is in my mind first...lol

This is a square sketch and I don't do many square cards but let the adventure begin...

What size does everyone use for a standard square card... I used 5 inch card to start with. I knew that I wanted to use the new Botanical Blooms from the Occasions Cattie, so I started making flowers in Melon mambo and Blushing Bride and leaves in Old Olive with old olive ink stamped on them.

I used the striped paper from the Pretty Petals designer series paper stack in mint macaron - so pretty.

When I was putting the flowers together realised that I had no pearls left so that is why there are rhinestones in the middle. Stamped the words onto Hello Honey cardstock which are from Crazy about You stampset - so versatile!
