CCMC 237 Sketch Challenge

Good Morning, Stampers!

It's a fabulous Thursday over at Create with Connie and Mary with the interesting sketch challenge they have for today! Have you seen what all of the Designers have come up with? It is amazing how everyone interprets these sketches differently and yet they are all incredibly unique!

I challenged myself to use a set that I have been neglecting since the Spring Occasions Mini made it's way into my hands! I chose to use Field Flowers because it looks great no matter what colors are used! I especially love it in the Perfect Plum- YUM!

I began by cutting my Perfect Plum card base to 5 1/2" square. Then, using Perfect Plum ink, I stamped the doily stamp on the left side of the card front.

I wrapped the card using the Perfect Plum Taffeta ribbon - this ribbon ties so nicely!

I stamped the focal image using Always Artichoke and Perfect Plum onto a 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" piece of Very Vanilla cardstock. On a separate piece of cardstock, I stamped (3) extra flowers and cut them out.

I took the stamped square and cut it 3/4" x 1 3/4" to create the window look. I adhered it to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals.

Finally, I added the flowers with additional Stampin' Dimensionals and finished it off with the little stamped tag tucked under the bow.
