Welcome back! I'm glad you could drop by to check out this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch! I sure wish I could tell you that I whipped this beauty up in about an hour, but it was not so. I had first picked out a puppy stamp which I had such a hard time colouring "brindle" like our puppy that I traded it in for a blowfish. It was easy to colour, but I coudn't get it to work for me either. So the moral of this story is that when you're in a slump that is not the time to step out of your comfort zone. So I pulled out a favorite floral set "For all you do" (SU!) and I finally got this to a place I liked.
Karen's sketch called for a square image on a rectangle card. I thought it was kind of fun, and I really like how it turned out. Basic Grey's Green at Heart paper was my starting point. It goes so well with Rich Razzleberry! I stamped the solid flower image in Rich Razzleberry on white and cut the image to 2" x 2" and layered it on Regal Rose. The sentiment was cut out with the curly label punch and Rich Razzleberry polka dot ribbon was threaded through the square to give it a little more visibility. I used an EK border punch on the vertical border for interest and added rhinestones to the border and flower centres. Despite how much of a struggle this took, I am pleased with the results.
There is more coming your way from the Sweet Sunday Stampers sketch team. Take a little Sunday stroll through their blogs for some sweet inspiration then give it a try yourself! Link it up to Karen's blog so we can be inspired too, and you may find yourself featured on Karen's blog next week!
