Green Garden
Flourishes is sponsoring the sketch this week at CPS — what fun!!! And what a great sketch. It is a long, narrow sketch, and I made mine into a card to fit a regular business sized envelope. My card measures 9″ x 3 7/8″.
I used Fantasy Floral Garden by Flourishes. Just love that set packed full with all sorts of flowers and fun words in cool fonts!!! The two flowers I used here are my favorites in the set — just love these pretty little things!!! They are colored in with reinkers and a blender pen, as is the vine border. The main image is cut and embossed on a rectangle Nestability die by Spellbinders, and the black scalloped mat layer was also cut and embossedon a rectangle Nestability scallop die by Spellbinders. I added a little bow and large brad accent and I was done!!! The black paper is from the Prismatics line by Prism, and the green is Wild Wasabi textured by SU.
Flourishes is offering a special Combo Kit price right now. The Combo Kit will include this stamp set, Fantasy Floral Garden, a pad of 6 x 6 Infuse by Basic Grey, and 2 yards of yummy ribbon. You can create the moment your package arrives!!!!

Love all that green textured cardstock and the pretty flowers. It looks so darn impressive as tall as it is! I had fun making my very first tall card for this sketch, too!
Your tall card is sooo pretty! I love the textured card stock, long leaf panel, and how you colored those pretty flowers!
Sharon, this is gorgeous!! I really like the way you did the sketch with the vine. It’s easy to see why those flowers are your favorite:)

Great sketch design. It’s so refreshing to see the beautiful flowers amidst all the Chrsitmas and winter cards. The big brad and touch of gingham are the perfect accents. Just gorgeous.
