BACKYARD & TROPICAL BLOOMS

 Hello!

Playing along with this Try A Sketch on Tuesday challenge


It was very freeing to use some gorgeous patterned paper, as I usually make my own backgrounds. And I really enjoyed this very user-friendly sketch. 

 I found it easiest to cut and adhere the two end strips slightly larger than needed, and then do the center strip to even everything out. 

I cut the rectangle panel from vellum, then the frame using 2 sizes of these nesting label dies. The vellum was glued on the striped background panel. The flower and stem were stamped on white cardstock, fussy cut and the outline color was spread with a wet paint brush. 

Sentiment was die cut in gold card stock. Embellishments are flat backed gems glued on, and there is yellow glitter glue in the flower center. Flower head is foam mounted.

* I originally spent a few days working intermittently on this card below for the challenge, and really loved it, but was shocked when I got ready to upload it - it was eerily similar to a fellow stamper’s card already entered! But here it is just for fun:
