Our Creative Corner Challenge - a Sketch!

Hi everyone! It's time for another Our Creative Corner Challenge!

The Challenges this month are going to be hosted by Jennifer Meyer and she has some awesome things lined up for all of us!

For the first challenge this month, we have a SKETCH! There's a $20 gift certificate being awarded by Tamara McKlveen from Mothers & Daughters Creations for one lucky winner! Be sure to check out the Our Creative Corner Blog for all the details of the giveaway as well as the beautiful samples from the OCC team and Tamara.

For my card I used a bunch of NEW things that I just received. My great friend, Silke, sent me a the Plum Pudding CS and yummy ribbon. Thanks, girlie!! I hope you like it because I made it for you. {hugs!} The main image is from one of my new Flourishes sets...oh my word, go Flourishes!! Your images are gorgeous!!

The image was stamped on watercolor paper, watercolored with inkpads (by smashing the ink in the lid), I cut most of the image with the paper cutter just up to the edges of the flowers, and then hand cut around the flowers with scissors to get the out-of-the-box technique. A tiny bit of purple stickles were added to the center of the flower.

The black mat behind the flower is up on dimensionals. The inside of the card has one of the small flourish images from the Siberian Iris set stamped in the lower corner.
