I needed a thank you note for a friend today, but as I started it I couldn't decide how to lay it out. So as I was surfing around, I found a great Sketch Challenge to follow from Stamping 411.
I love that their Challenges are all Stampin' Up! only now! It just means that when you check out all the entries there will only be Stampin' Up! materials used. Anyone can still join, just use your Stampin' Up! stuff.
Here I added a white flower button, and I was happy that not only it's a cute little flower like the Sketch suggested, but also it matched the Easter Blossom stamp I used! Hopefully you can see the Shimmer on the background of the card here too! I told you, I still can't stop Shimmering... (It just keeps "needing" it!)
And here I hope you can see the detail on the stamping of the blossom branch, where I used Pear Pizzazz on the edges of the branches and (maybe you can see) the centers of the blossoms. Then I also used Smooch Top Coat over the Pear centers of the blossoms. Probably all that is seen much better in person!
I also used the Elegant Bouquet embossing folder for the background. Just by the nature of the folder itself, it only embosses part of the cardstock, which also fit with the original Sketch! Pretty cool!
Have a great weekend! Thanks for stopping by,
Julie
