Hello, Hello!
The crafting rut has struck so I am really relying on challenges and techniques, etc that I have not done in a long while. I loved the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches and for a while there it was very trendy to pop up parts of a background and use the negative space. That fit this week's sketch perfectly.
I added some yellow in the way of patterned paper behind the background panels and rose. This card was a 'bits and pieces' card- things leftover from prior projects. The rose has been in my stash for about a year. The leaves are probably about 8 years old-yep! The patterned paper scrap, well, we all have those stashes of little bits of paper hanging around.
The rose is from Creative Worship Stamps, the leaves are from Heartfelt Creations (no longer in business) and the embossing folder is my newest one, from Penny Black.
Some gold threat and sequins finish the card.
Here is the Freshly Made Sketches sketch~
