Freshly Made Sketches #19 - Ruffled Ribbon, Wisteria and Pearls

Hi there,
Today's post is for the Freshly Made Sketch Challenge this week.  I stamped the flower three times with the Wisteria Wonder Stamp Pad and then rocked the Concord Crush stamp pad around the edgers and at the centre of the flower, cut them out and used Dimesnionals to build it together.  I used a Stamp pad and Markers for the Butterfly so I could place the ink exactly where I wanted it.  The Whisper White Mat has been dry embossed with the Jamara EB Folder leaving the top section plain.  For the main image piece I used a Multi Mat so I could make a mat around the Whisper White piece.  Then I added the gorgeous Ruffled Ribbon and the Pearls as my Finishing Touches.
 

Supplies:
Stamps:  S/U's Creative Elements, Pocket Silhouettes, Tiny Tags, Vintage Labels (R)
Card and Papers: Concord Crush, Wisteria Wonder, Pear Pizzazz, Flirtatious Specialty DSP
Ink: Concord Crush, Wisteria Wonder, Pear Pizzazz
Finishing Touches: Ruffled Ribbon Wisteria Wonder, Pearls

Perfect Sentiments #15 - Hot Air Balloons

Hi there,
Today's post is for the Perfect Sentiments Challenge this week to do a Birthday card plus the Emboss Resist Technique as the twist.  I used White Embossing Powder for the main balloon shapes and then used Clear embossing Powder and Early Espresso for the baskets on the balloons and the thin dotted lines on the balloons that give them a Vintage touch.  I used River Rock and a sponge to create the clouds in the background with a Scallop circle Punch to make the clouds.  I was going for a vintage theme and wanted to use the Well Torn DSP.  I coloured the balloons with cotton buds.  The birthday flag was also done with emboss resist on glossy white card.
This card was awarded a Perfect 3 at Perfect Sentiments this week.
