Little Flowers sketch card

Yeah, I got to make a card, and believe it or not all the teenagers are still sleeping... after I do this post I get to wake them Up!

I made this card for SCS Sketch challenge 135 chose to use white for the base. Old Olive for the diagonal matted in Basic Black, and Perfect Plum.

I used Basic Black, Perfect Plum, Pale Plum and Barely Banana Ink. I drew the stems with Old Olive Marker.

I used the Watercolor Vine stamping wheel, Big Pieces for the large flower and Little flowers for the main image. I added two hero arts 2mm gem stones for the centers of the light flowers. I sponged BB ink on the edges of the card base and oval. I only own the giga Oval Scalloped punch so when I punch the oval image I punch both then trim the scallops of one and then trim another 1/8th inch around to make it more centered. Because I don't trim exact I sponge the edges and raised it on dimensionals to hide the fact I didn't use a punch. I mark the matted piece with a pencil around the oval in the center of the scallops and then punched the marks out with a 1/16th circle punch. I always mess up if I dont mark the centers with a pencil first. Since I needed dot the center of the large pieces flower., I just used a pencil eraser. I thought it's rubber and its about the right size. It worked really well. I used pastel yellow MM rivets some yellow baby rick rack off a micro spool, and black gingham checked. I didn't get the ribbon straight. I marked and the slightly punched the edges to help the ribbon stay in place on the slanted edge but I goofed a bit and it's slightly slanted. Cherish is from the warm words SU Set, and was punched out with a word window punch. I punched five, and the one was cut in half and the others at various lentghs and then adhered to the card, trimmed and then punched with an 1/8" circle punch and then rivets attached. Well it felt great to finally make a card again, and post it. I will try to post again tonight.

I hope to finish the flag today. I need to go paint the blues and bluegreens. I will try to post a picture, but I need to add the details after it dries. Here is hoping everything today goes well.

Until later ... Happy Stamping!
