Flourishes June Release Sketch Challenge

Did you simply LOVE all the zinnias you’ve been seeing today? I know!!! Well, I’ve got another card with another image from the set for today’s challenge, which is a sketch. Here’s the sketch: 

June Sketch

And here’s my card using it. Aren’t those blooms just SWEET?!

I stamped the image on Classic White card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with Copic markers—I used the Gerber Daisy Collection, the Fuchsia Collection, the Lenten Rose Collection, and the Evergreen Collection. Then I layered it and popped it up on foam, following the sketch. I’m using Basic Grey’s Sweet Threads again for this card—gorgeous papers in this collection! I tied some of THIS fabulous ribbon around and tied a bow. This is another ribbon that ties like a dream! The sentiment was stamped and cut out with a flag die from my Spellbinders Lacey Pennants set and my Grand Calibur. I finished it up with some Dew Drops for balance.

So, now it’s your turn! You can get all the challenge details on the Flourishes Blog . Hope to see tons of entries—you might win a prize. Just sayin’…

Thanks SO much for stopping by! I’ll be back tomorrow with another sneak peek!
