Another SNS Sketch

I was playing around in my stamp room last night and decided to make another card for September's SNS Sketch Challenge... I chose to do the Lacey Background Technique for this one... I made my main panel with the Lacey Background Technique found at SNS. This is a fun technique and looks amazing... My background is embossed with my new embossing folder. (Love it!) I colored my flower with various copic markers and added a small amount of glitter to bling it up a little bit. I popped it up on a large prima flower for added dimension and color pop. I hope you enjoy my card today... Happy Stamping!!!

Love and Happiness

I made this card for this month's sketch challenge at Sparkle N Sprinkle. I just recently made the DT there and couldn't be happier. Stop by their store and check out their amazing glitters and embossing powders. They now sell Micro Fine Glitters and they are just awesome... Their store can be found here: http://sparklensprinkle.com/o/e I started with my base card an then ran my DSP through the Big Shot with the Top Note Die from Stampin Up!. I stamped my sentiment. I tied a ribbon across the lower portion of the Die and adhered with "tear"-ific tape. I used the Quickie Glue Pen to place a small amount of glue on my flowers and sprinkled glitter and let dry. I assembled my card. I wanted to keep the simple feel of this sketch and really let the Die stand out. I didn't want to go with too much bling and I didn't want a crazy colored image. Just a nice simple sentiment and some gorgeous flowers... Thank you so much for stopping by. I would love to know what you think.. Happy Stamping!!!
