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
