Here's a card I made for Clean and Simple's sketch 176 my card and the sketch:
You can see, by my card, that I totally flipped the sketch sideways...it just "worked" that way for me. I had taken a Hero Arts flower(Stitched Frame) and was trying my hand at coloring it(Sharpie Markers), when I decided to use it and 3 more like it for this sketch. The only thing is...the flower is a little bigger than I probably should have used for the sketch...so turning it sideways was best for the sentiment. I purchased this Happy Birthday stamp a couple years ago from a lovely company in Australia, Montarga...just LOVED the fact that it was vertical, but really loved the script, as well. Dotted the middles of the flowers with Enamel Accents(dotting in random places and letting the dots dry before dotting more, so they didn't run together)...here's a closer look:
Just gives it a little texture...and speaking of texture...used my same FAVORITE Papertrey texture plate(Linen/Canvas) for a little texture on the card, itself(Taken with Teal paper wound up matching my sharpie colored flowers PERFECTLY). The lighting is tough, today...a dark and rainy day here, so thought I would show you what it looks like a little closer up:
Framed in black and used EK Success border punch with white Enamel Accents for the frame. The card is 8" x 4"...Thanks for visiting me today!! Hugs!! Lisa
