Hi everyone! I love Tuesday's because I always look forward to Mercy's sketches!! This week is no exception!! It's rare that I really like a card that I make, I mean, we are our own worst critics, right? Well, I LOVE this card! I don't know if it is the longness (not a word, I know) or the colors, but I'm really liking it! LOL!
I used a VERY LOVED but very neglected set from Papertrey called In Bloom. I think the flower in this set is so beautiful. I stamped that beautiful flower in Memento Tuxedo Black three times, cutting out different parts of the flower each time. I colored them in with Copic markers and layered them with dimensionals. The sentiment is from another Papertrey set called Mega Mixed Messages and was stamped in Enchanted Evening ink and then punched out with a circle punch. The floral DP is from the In Bloom paper pack by PTI. I added some stitching and an eyelet border and was done!!
Don't forget to check out what Mercy's Muses did with this sketch!
