Hi everyone, for this weeks Stamping and Blogging sketch challenge I decided to use the Painted Petals stamp set. Here is my card for SB92.
This is an ideal card to make when you need one in a hurry as it is quick and easy to do. I have only used the Black Memento ink pad and changed the depth of colour by stamping off first. I stamped the flower image and then turned the stamp around and stamped again without re-inking. I also masked and then lightly sponged the background behind the flowers.
I added some random dots of silver glitter using my 2-Way Glue and finished the card off by adding a small sparkly butterfly and some pearls.
Here is a photo of this weeks sketch that I designed my card from.
