Splitcoast Sketch Challenge SC190


Here it is...my interpretation of Sketch Challenge 190 over on Splitcoaststampers. This was a real fun sketch to do this week. Every Wednesday is a new sketch challenge, so stop on over and join the fun. The color scheme I used is: Blue Bayou (base layer) then Blush Blossom, Soft Sky and Whisper White. The Circles are Ruby Red, Blush Blossom and Whisper white. The card is a 5X5 square. The white layer of the squares are negative embossed with the cuttlebug. One half is using Blush Blossom ink on the Swiss Dots embossing folder. The other half uses Ruby Red ink on the Floral Fantasy embsossing folder. The big flower stamp is from Unity Stamps Spring has Sprung kit. The flower is stamped on the white circle, then stamped again on white CS and colored, glittered, cut out and popped up for dimension on top of the other stamped image. I used Copics to color the flower, and sprinkled glitter on the petals and center of the flower. I used a white opaque marker to put a dotted border on the Ruby Red circle. I finished the card with dew drops going down the diagonal seam of the card. The sentiment, "Life is Good," is from the Verve stamp set, Artful Elegance, which is one of their new releases. That's exactly how I feel at this very moment, Life is Good. Thanks for stopping by and HAPPY STAMPING!!
