Just Because--Sketches! {by Tamara} #90

Time for another Sketches! {by Tamara} card sketch challenge! Here's today's sketch:

I like this sketch a lot. I still had some Cameo Coral out from my Color Throwdown card yesterday so I decided to use it on this card, too. My base card is Whisper White with layers of Old Olive, Cameo Coral, and Whisper White run through my Cuttlebug with the Textile embossing folder. The next element is more Old Olive with an eyelet punched border and more Whisper White embossed with the Swiss Dots folder with a coral satin bow tied around it and is up on 3M foam squares. The focal image is the April flower from the retired Flower Of the Month. It was stamped on Gina K Pure Luxury 80 lb paper with Memento Rich Cocoa ink and colored with Copic markers (see below). It was cut/embossed with a rectangle Nestabilities die and layered on Cameo Coral and Old Olive that was cut/embossed with my new Labels Four die. It's also up on foam squares and one Dew Drop accents the upper corner. The sentiment is new from Papertrey Ink--Mega Mixed Messages. Just like their Mixed Messages that I love, only a little bigger. It was stamped on Whisper White with Rich Cocoa and cut/embossed with a Spellbinders tag die. I ran my Old Olive SU! marker around the edges and tied it on with some DMC embroidery floss.
