Hi everyone!! It's time for Mercy's Tuesday sketch!! YIPPEE!! This week's sketch is awesome! I did veer a bit from the original by replacing the top rectangle layer with the flower. I tried the flower on the rectangle but just couldn't get it to look how I wanted! I also combined this sketch with another Dare To Get Dirty Challenge from Sharon Harnist, to use red, black and white on a card! (DTGD09StamperSharon)
I used a new set from Papertrey Ink called In Bloom. The flowers in this set are so beautiful! I stamped two of the flowers in Fresh Snow Ink (thanks, Becky!) on Pure Poppy DP, cut them out and layered one on top of the other with a dimensional. The background layers were all run through the Cuttlebug with the Stampin' Up! Finial Press embossing folder. The ribbon is Pure Poppy Polka Dot from PTI. The sentiment is from also from a PTI set called Mega Mixed Messages.
Don't forget to check out the rest of Mercy's Muses:

That is stunning! The embossing on the black is a great effect. It looks so different than on other colors.
