When I saw this sketch from Freshly Made Sketches I new I had to make some time for my craft room. You can use it in so many ways and I chose to turn the design and make a top fold card.
The stamp set is one of our current specials for April called Love These People. There are many different bundles that are part of the special, too. Click here to see the collection. Be sure to check it out!
I used a piece of the paper with the black stripes because I knew I wanted to keep with the pink and black color theme. There are even little dots of pink on the paper! I added a black piece of cardstock to finish that edge and to make the pink flowers stand out even more. Some splashes of shimmer on the top add a nice touch as do the black dots. The sentiment was stamped on white with the top edge rubbed on the stamp pad for an edge. The bottom was stamped.
The flowers were colored with our TriBlend Markers. These markers come with 3 saves of one color which make blending a breeze! I started the flowers with the light color, added some highlights with the medium color and just a bit more highlight with the dark color. Then to blend all three colors together I colored the flower all over again in the light color. The flower centers were done with Stickles. The center flower is popped up a bit with some foam tape.
