Bloggers Challenge...Sketch Challenge


Another Friday....Another Bloggers Challenge. This weeks challenge is a sketch challenge - while flipping through on of the Stampin' Up! Stampin' Success magazines, I came across a sketch I thought would be fun to incorporate into one of the weekly challenges. I'm not good at drawing sketches, but love to use them in my designs. First, I should tell you, I really took creative liberties with this weeks sketch, but I assure you, it was my jumping point for this weeks card. When you scroll down through this post - you'll see the sketch as it was originally presented, then you'll see the flipped version of the sketch - they way I used it in my design.

No stamping on my card this week either, I used the Big Shot, Texturz Plates, Top Note and Flower, Daisies # 2 Die. The flower that I created with the Daisies Die was inspired by the ones my friend Jeannette posted here - be sure to check it out she's got an awesome tutorial. (Shhh don't tell her, but I left off one of the flower layers, I used 3 of each one not 4). After creating the flower, I added one of the new Corduroy Buttons as my center. Ran some Olive card stock through my Texturz plates, punched with the Large Oval punch and added them under the flower for leaves. The panel behind the mum was cut from Close to Cocoa and Chocolate Chip card stocks, cutting the edge off the Close to Cocoa piece, then running the Cutter Kit on both pieces. In place of the sentiment from the original sketch, I decided to add the Chocolate Chip Grosgrain tied using the One Hole Bow Technique - this is great for keeping your bows securely in place. The Cameo Coral piece of card stock has also been run through the Texturz plate, it's just not showing well in this photo.

Details:
Card Stock - Close to Cocoa, Old Olive, Chocolate Chip, Cameo Coral
Other - Crop-a-Dile, Chocolate Grosgrain, Big Shot, Texturz Plates, Oval Punch, Top Note Die, Daisies #2, Corduroy Buttons, Cutter Kit

Wow Lisa! I love how you made that bloom, and the button adds so much depth. This is really stunning. I like that you used the top note die. instead of a circle. It's really great.
