LCOM Sketch - Winter Bouquet

It's my first first official sketch for Let's Capture These Memories and here is the fabulous layout sketch designed by the site's owner, Isabelle Doucette!

Instead of using the sketch to create a traditional layout, I was asked to create a fun card.

Winter Bouquet

For my card today, I used the Winter Bouquet image from Flourishes. I used the Flourishes SVG Cut File to cut out the cardstock and then stamp my image on the cardstock.  I also used the Flourishes Tailor-Made Die, "" made by Spellbinders and a doily die by Cheery Lynn Designs.

My patterned papers include the dark pink and green gingham from Simple Stories "Fabulous" line.  The light pink paper is from Authentique, the "Lively" collection.

Pink Roses on Scalloped Hearts

For each of my cards I used the fabulous "Devoted" paper collection from Carta Bella.   I began each card by die cutting out my scalloped label shape from Flourishes Classic White Cardstock and stamping my bouquet of roses image within the frame using Memento "Black Tuxedo" ink ~ my favourite ink!!!

Pink Roses on Red

 

Then I coloured all the stamped images using Copic markers:   RV11 from the Tea Rose Collection, G20, G21 & G24 from the Leaf Green Collection, G40 from the Pistachio Collection, B91 and B93 from the Blue Jean Collection and RV10,  Once coloured, I used some Ranger "Walnut Stain" on a sponge applicator and lightly sponged each image - to add a bit of antiquing.  Then I sponged on some white ink to soften each focal image.

 Pink Roses on Red Hearts

I added a simple piece of twine and a silver heart button to each one for little bit of shine.
