Freshly Made Sketches #7 - Delightful Melon

Hello Friends,
Today's post is for the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge this week.  I used The Sizzix Fun Flowers Die, Blossom Petals Builder Punch and the Doily Triple Layer Punch to make the flower.  When I had the two bottom layers cut I ran them through the Big Shot using the Petals-a-Plenty EB Folder and sponged them with White Craft Ink. The centre two Petals are sponged and scrunched.  After I assembled the flower I Spritzed it with a Alcohol and Shimmer Mist mixture and then manipulated the petals into shape.  I used a leaf from French Foliage Stamp Set for the leaves.

This card received a Perfect Princess Award this week at Freshly Made Sketches.
Supplies:
Stamps:  S/U's Four Frames, Petite Pairs, French Foliage
Card and Papers: Melon Mambo, Whisper White, Lucky Limeade, DSP Patterns Pack - Subtles
Ink: Craft White, Pretty In Pink, Melon Mambo, Lucky Limeade
Embellishments:  Lucky Limeade Ruffled Ribbon, Pearls, Alcohol and Shimmer Paint Spritz
Tools:  Big Shot, Polka Dot EB Folder, Petals-A-Plenty EB Folder, Sizzix Fun Flowers Die, Sponge, Blossom Petals Builder Punch, Doily Triple Layer Punch, Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch, Decorative Label Punch, Dble Sided Tape, Dimensionals, Stamp-a-ma-jig
Thanks' for stopping by today.
Hugs,
Cat's Ink Siggy

  9. I LOVE this, Susan. I would be overjoyed to get something so beautiful for my birthday! I hope the recipient is appreciative of your talent and creativity. The texture on the flower is just stunning; I'm not a big fan of pink, but this could totally change that. :) Thanks for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches this week.
