Ever see a sketch and know that whatever you make with it will be awesome? That is how I felt the minute I saw this one from Freshly Made Sketches. The incredible Linda Callahan created this beauty and the possibilities are endless!
I thought these gorgeous images from the Botanical Garden would be great for the sketch. I stamped them onto Canson Watercolor Paper using Versafine Ink. Then I colored using Winsor and Newton Watercolor Paints. I just got these and was swatching them when I thought I should just break them in and see what happened. I kind of love the possibilities!! Once I was done coloring the images, I cut them out to see how they looked for the sketch. I felt like they needed a little bit of a background so I added a little more color behind them before stamping the sentiment. I love this one!! And it is perfect for my friend that will receive this card.
Our design team has done their always excellent job this week and you will be so inspired. I hope you will have as much fun with this sketch as I did. Thanks so much for stopping in today. See you soon!
