JAI 115 Just add a sketch

Hello there,

there has been a bit more toe dipping this week as well as some nice walks on the beach, well there was before the weather closed in! However while I've enjoyed the change it will be nice to get home. 

Now on to this weeks Just Add Ink challenge, this week we have a sketch for you. Here it is.

I knew life was going to be hectic once we got back so I prepared this one (or should I say two) ahead so I was already for Mothers Day in early May. I rotated the sketch 90 degrees and then mirror imaged it. Here's the outcome.

I started with the idea of making the flowers. I seen a few recently on the blog a lovely friend Di Barnes here. She mentioned using three layers each of fancy flower, triple doily and boho blossom punches. I used three different colours for each flower. Secured them together with a vintage brad and then liberally sprayed with platinum shimmer mist, scrunching the layers up to give the flowers shape. Then set them aside to dry. The top layer of the cards are portioned as one third DSP and one third white impressed cardstock. With the separation being covered by pleated lace (secured with sticky strip) and ribbon. The white section was also stamped with some flowering swirls, embellished with some little blossoms, that lead the eye to the sentiment. The flower was partially laid over the DSP and stamped swirls and I finished it all off with a few little leafy sprigs. To be honest I found this sketch to be another challenging one!

Thanks for visiting,

Kim
