Sweet Day

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!


When I saw Amy's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #729, I knew just what I 
wanted to do.  This stamp has been in my NBUS box for almost a year and
this was the perfect opportunity to use it.

First, here's the sketch...


I used Memento Toffee Crunch to stamp onto mixed media paper and colored
with Zig markers and a waterbrush.  So fun!

I tried some different backgrounds and like the black best so it became my "white" space.

I had so much fun that I want to do another.  I hope I get to it and not distracted 
with other things that keep coming into my craft room.


Card Recipe
Stamps:  Four Petal Sweet Day Flowers (SB)
Ink:  Toffee Crunch, Tuxedo Black (Mem)
Paper: Mixed Media (Strathmore), Black
Other: Zigs CCRBM, Micron 005 Black, Floral Festoon EF (SSS), Essential Stylish Ovals die (SB)


Enjoy!

  17. This is gorgeous, Bonnie! Your flowers are so beautifully coloured. I have to confess - I have this set and didn't like the one and only card I made with it so put the set to one side, but you may very well have encouraged me to give it another go. Thanks so much for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches.
