Bloom with Hope card SB68

I have some exciting news to share with you all.  Sandi MacIver has asked me to join the design team for the Stamping and Blogging Sketch Challange.  I have used the Bloom with Hope and Work of Art stamp sets for this challenge.  Here is my first card, which is for sketch #68.

I used the Blendabilities to colour the flowers and then clear embossed over the top to enhance the colour. I also coloured the little pearls that are in the center of the flowers using the Blendabilities, how awesome is that.  I  spots on the background card is from the Gorgeous Grunge set.  I stamped the ink off on scrap paper first before stamping to create a lighter shade of Pumpkin Pie.

Here is a photo of the sketch we worked from.

Now it’s time for you to go and see what all the other talented ladies on the design team came up with.
