MMSC12 Sketch Challenge! Loads of Prizes!


Well it is already Tuesday and time to reveal our design take on this weeks sketch challenge. I borrowed a floral stamp & butterfly stamp from a friend of mine (they are by stampin up but I have forgotten the name!) The images were heat embossed watercolored,handcut,handpieced & layered with liquid lacquer for lots of dimension. I have layered 3-4 images on top of each other. In the centers of the flowers and butterflies I used tiny clear crystal seed beads. The background papers were embossed with my cuttlebug and the scallop border was created by using one of stampin up's border punches. I found these rhinestone butterfly brads several years ago and finally found a home for them too! I just love bling!

  9. Denise this card is just outstanding. That liquid lacquer is just amazing for what it does to the image. When I look at it close the word "juice" came to mind. lol I want to try that. Your background embossing is delicate and graceful. Love your stitching and the trendy wrapping of the twine around your card. Exceptional presentation. See you next Tuesday.
