Here’s the sketch for this week…. brought to you by Kelli Waters. If you get lost, you can start over at Angela Walters blog.
Here’s the sketch:
Here’s my rendition of this sketch: I used the new Hostess stamp “Because I Care”. You can earn this set free with a qualifying workshop starting in July.
Cardstock and ink is new Early Espresso, flowers colored with the new Cherry Cobbler. Ribbon is the retiring Chocolate chip wide striped grosgrain. Button is from the “retiring” latte collection.

Well… guys… after looking at the colors in the daytime… I really didnt’ like the Cherry Cobbler and Espresso.. though with some other flower I think they would have been fine.. so I went back to my work table and tore off the front (yes, I destroyed the red) and did a remake… here’s my remake… with Marina Mist and the Espresso, and Pear Pizazz on the leaves.. So what do you think of this one?

Very nice! I love the idea of using the flower multiple times stamped off the edge. Love the inside too!

I like both versions! I also like how you stamped on the inside of the card, too.

I see that you added some color on the leaves, sponging on the edge of the topnote, and a scallop oval on the marina version. The extra details really dress it up. I’ll bet if you did the same on the cobbler version it would look just as classy. TFS!
