Happy middle of the week to you! I have a real treat of a sketch to share with you today from Freshly Made Sketches. The lovely Cécile is our hostess this week. Elle est merveilleuse et si créative. Her basic sketch leaves so much room for interpretation…you are sure to love it too!
I thought it would be fun to create a “spotlight” style card. I chose this beautiful flower image from Gina K Designs. Using my handy dandy Misti, it is super easy to line up the image on the watercolor panel and the vellum. I stacked the two layers where I wanted them, place the magnet, and stamped (using Versafine Onyx Black). Then I pulled up the watercolor paper and stamped again on the vellum layer. I heat embossed on the vellum using clear embossing powder. So fast, and no stress on how to get the layers aligned. I colored the flower using my “Debby’s Palette” of Daniel Smith Watercolors. I attached the watercolor layer to the vellum (I recommend a liquid glue like Multi Medium Matte or a strong tape runner like SU’s Fast Fuse). The sentiment comes from the same Gina K set. So awesome how the word image is cut with a little border using the dies. The entire image layer was popped up using double sided adhesive foam from Newton’s Nook. This foam is just the BEST!!
I hope that you enjoy this card and will join us this week at FMS. We love seeing what you create! Make sure you go check out the work from the design team. You know it is fabulous!! Back tomorrow with a fun hop. Until then, have a great day!
