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.

It’s a really great idea to emboss flowers after using Blendabilities ! I have to try it ! Thanks Patrice !
Thanks Marine 🙂 I am looking forward to creating with you all. I emboss before using Crystal Effects as well, stops the colour from running.
This is just beautiful Patrice. I love how you mimicked the backdrop on your art piece. Wonderful!!!
