Now onto the sketch…..

Here is the sketch:

 

….and my interpretation.

I had so much fun building this with my new punch that will be available in January. It’s a sneak peek of what’s to come.

The set I used is called Build a Blossom and the Punch is called Blossom Petals Punch. I used some of the DSP from the Brights Pattern Pack.

The card Base is Whisper White and measures 5 1/4 x 10 1/2 and the Pretty in Pink Mat is 5 1/8 x 5 1/8. Followed with the DSP Mat cut to 5x5. I then made and Old Olive Mat that measures 4x4 and then used a piece of white embossed with the Polka Dot Embossing Folder that measures 3 3/4 x 3 3/4. I popped that layer up with Dimensionals.  Ahhhhhhhh…then the process of building the flower. I stamped the flower petals in Regal Rose and used two of the petal stamps. then punched them out. I cut a white circle using my 1 3/8 circle punch and using glue dots started building my flower by attaching the pieces to the circle. I did roll the petals a bit on a skewer to give them a rounded natural look. The center image is stamped in Old Olive and popped up with a big glue dot. The narrow mats behind the image are Pretty in Pink and cut to 1 x 5 1/4 and the white 3/4 x 5 and stamped with Curly Cute. So there ya go…..see what you have to look forward to….
