Oh my word, we had some lovely entries for Joanne's sketch challenge last week! I'm keen to see what everyone does this week with LeAnne's theme challenge: Thankful for you.
One bundle I love, and keep coming back to, is the Layers of Beauty bundle: stamps, dies and stencils.
With the 'grateful for you' sentiment, it was perfect for this challenge.
I stamped the large floral image twice in Tuxedo Black ink. Twice so that I could colour the large flowers in the second one to cut out and pop up over the other one for more depth.
Then I coloured it using the 5 step stencil using Pretty in Pink, Strawberry Slush, Granny Apple Green and a touch of Daffodil Delight for the flower centres. Blending Brushes make the application easy. Once coloured, I die cut the image and also die cut the largest bloom from the second image I'd stamped.
The Basic White card front is embossed with the new Beautiful Pattern embossing folder, for a subtle yet elegant look. I decided it needed something else to make it pop. Sitting on my desk were the Party Banner dies, so I took one of those and extended the length to make it fit the card front in a balanced way.
The paper I used was from a retired 2024-2026 In Color 6x6 DSP stack. I stamped the sentiment directly onto the banner.
Then I attached the banner to the card front, the large spray to the banner and then added the second large bloom popped up on dimensionals.
The finishing touch was the addition of a trio of Pink Gems.
