Timeless Tuesday Sketch!!

Hi there!It is time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC21). This week Silke Ledlow is hosting. Silke is challenging us to a sketch she has designed. As far as sketches go, there is not much explanation necessary. You can turn it and enlarge the sections to fit your card size. However, in the end, it should still look like the sketch. Good Luck!!!! Looking forward to seeing what you create with it!!! Sketch+for+FTTC+23June09 Here's my card! FLLC 06-23-09 B The stamps are Waterlilies. I used the new Flourishes paper Classic White and Classic Ivory. To color I used the New Copic Collections I love how they are already grouped together. I may have used a random color in addition to the collections listed but for the most part I used the following. Tea Rose, Dusty Rose, Hollyhock, and Fields color collections. The blog team have some beautiful samples for you today. Thanks for stopping by!

FLLC Timeless Tuesday

It is time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC20)! This week Betty Wright is our host. She is challenging us to get inspired from Kim Poloson's posters. Search through the many posters to find an inspiration piece. As with all inspiration pieces, there may be one or two things in the photo that inspires you whether it is an element, layout, or color scheme, or you may want to recreate the whole look. There are so many wonderful ones to choose from you will probably want to play several times. Make sure you include a link in your write up as to which one you chose and why. We would love to see what you create!!! Wow I love that site. I will be using it for many more cards and projects. I was inspired by this lovely work of art. Here's my card. FLLC 06-15-09 I used the following Stamp Sets and Copics. All from Flourishes. Autumn Flourishes, Peony,Thank You. The Hollyhock Collection and The Fields Collections for coloring. The blog team have some beautiful samples for you today. Thanks for stopping by!
