May Sketch Challenge

Hi everyone. Here is the sketch for May over at Repeat Impressions, The House that Stamps Built.

I used one of the new stamps that just came out called Flower Power Separates to make the card for the sketch challenge.

This flower said poinsettia to me so that it what I went with. I stamped it in Versamark, then heat embossed using gold embossing powder.

Then I took my Copic's and colored them up to reflect the red gorgeous blossoms you find at Christmas.

I did a bit of foiling on the band using just some double sided tape. Then I popped up a single poinsettia with some leaves using foam tape.

MFT blueprints 21 dies used to create the dotted pierced border and the top half circle.

That's it for today. Thanks for stopping in.
