As soon as I saw the current sketch at Freshly Made Sketches, I knew I wanted to participate. Nonetheless, it took me nearly all week to get to it. I finally had a few extra minutes this afternoon.
It’s definitely a “clean and simple” sketch, so right up my alley. I recently bought Reverse Confetti’s “Tall Blooms,” and thought a couple of the images would be perfect for this. I started with premade A4 card by Paper Source, and added two black strips of paper. I die cut and stamped two of the blooms and colored them with Copic markers.
I tied the blooms together with a piece of white baker’s twine before adhering them to the card. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink’s “Gathered Garden.” The reorganization of my stamps a couple of weeks ago has proven to be a great move. All of a sudden, I’m “discovering” stamp sets I haven’t touched in quite awhile.
I’m quite sure I’ll use this sketch again. It was a quick, easy card to complete, and I love the A4 size for thank you notes. Off to see what others have created with this sketch before this challenge closes tomorrow.
This is gorgeous! I love how these brightly colored flowers pop against the black and white. Thanks for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches this week!
Lovely and I like the way you have photographed it with the blue flower behind.
Another great success. I like the sketch & I will keep for future reference. I think the simplicity of the design could be used for so many sentiments, dressed up or dressed down.
So bright and cheery on a grey morning as I read this post! Love the simplicity and drama of the card…a real keeper! The bouquet looks like one could pluck it off and hold in her hand…
Cheers~
