Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #615

Happy Monday! It's time for a new challenge at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. Here's our sketch

Here's my card

Sometimes, things just don't go according to plan. I started with a white A2 card panel and intended to stencil the bloom in the upper left corner using Simon Says STAMP's Bouquet of Roses stencil with distress inks (mermaid lagoon, lucky clover) applied with oval ink blending brushes. Well, I guess, I didn't do a good job of masking the area and I ended up with ink where I had not intended it. So, I decided to fussy cut it and adhere it to a white A2 card base. Keeping with the rose theme, I used Paper Smooches' Roses die set which came with the flower and the leaves. I chose to ink blend some white cardstock with the same two distress inks and die cut from that. I was going to leave the inlaid parts white but the contrast was too extreme so I lightly ink blended those parts (after I glued them in place, of course)! For the sentiment, I used Papertrey Ink's Keep It Simple: Thank You stamp set with white embossing powder on a scrap of green cardstock, which I trimmed to a sentiment strip. I glued the various elements in place to complete my card.

We'd love to see how you're inspired by our sketch, in our gallery.
