Gallery Blooms for As You See It 356

Welcome to a new challenge at As You See It. This week, we have a sketch to inspire you.

I enjoy a sketch challenge and I particularly like seeing the varied projects that arise from the same starting point. 

I had the Beautiful Gallery DSP on my desk. It's so pretty and I really haven't made enough use of it... yet. 

I started by choosing a design from the DSP stack and cutting it to a suitable width. Then I cut it into horizontally into three pieces the same width. 

I embossed the Basic White card front with the Damask Designs embossing folder, which is part of the Beautiful Gallery suite. After attaching that to the Secret Sea card base, I added the three strips of DSP, making sure to  preserve the pattern and to space them evenly while keeping them to the left, as in the sketch. 

I used the sentiment from Beautiful Motifs and cut it out using a banner from Stylish Shapes. As the colours in the DSP were Cloud Cover and Secret Sea, I cut out some small foliage using the Gallery Blooms dies and arranged them in behind the popped up sentiment banner. 

To finish, I added three large Flat Pearls in Secret Sea to the left of the DSP strips, to suit the sketch, and added two smaller ones to accent the sentiment. 

I'd love to see how you see this sketch!  Visit the As You See It page to link up your entry and to see the rest of the team's inspirations.
