Hello and welcome back, crafty friends! I am so excited to finally share this post, as not only has Michelle Stewart given us another fun and fabulous sketch to play with but this is also the start of a new term with new Design Team members at the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge blog, but this is also my first project featuring new product from CTMH's new Annual Inspirations Idea Book. It's like Christmas in August!
details: CTMH has introduced Bashful as their Color of the Year and I thought it would be the perfect starting point for this card. I started with a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2" card base in Bashful and a 4 x 5 1/4" layer of White Daisy. I used the rose embossing folder on the two side panels and ran a thin strip of this retired dark pink glitter paper through the scallop border punch. The rose was created with the Beautiful You layered stamp and coordinating Thin Cut die set using Bashful, Pixie, and Pomegranate inks for the flower and Fern and New England Ivy for the leaves. When the flower was complete and I had it placed where I wanted it, I also went over it with the clear shimmer brush and added one of the smaller white pearls. I used Pomegranate ink with the A Bunch of Love stamp set for the sentiment and the Hello Lovely stamp set and coordinating Thin Cut for the frame (both of which are retired now).
We would love to see your take on this week's sketch, too! As always, you have until 10:55 pm Eastern/9:55 pm Central to share your creation, which you can link up HERE. Also, I hope you take time to check out the rest of the Design Team's projects and maybe stop by their blogs and show them some love and welcome our new members. Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting! Annette
Really pretty Annette
