2 Sketches 4 You - Lauras Sketch 43

 Here's my entry for this weeks '2 Sketches 4 You' challenge

The huge flowers are handmade by myself. They are created out of plain white paper, some distress inks, water, a background stamp, scalloped scissors and some (ok.. lots of *g*) glitter. The small brown paper flower in the middle is the only one I purchased

Unfortunately this photo doesn't do the card justice.. I wasn't able to catch the right colors in the photo (thanks to the bad weather :-( ) and that one flower that looks SO green here has a lot more blue IRL and it really matches the patterned paper very well (btw: the pp looks even more turquois and not that blue as it looks like on the photo)

stamps:
background stamp for flower is 'French Script' by SU!
'Thank You for being you!' sentimgent stamp by Inque Boutique

designer papers:
'Boho Bliss' by WM[squared] Designs

other supplies:
brown cardstock (Bazzill)
Nestabilities Label8 (Spellbinders)
white gel pen (Inkssentials by Ranger)
'Say it in crystals' (Prima Marketing)
Distress inks (Ranger) in
Broken China,Vintage Photo,
Antique Linen, Faded Jeans,
Pine Needles
small brown paper flower (Prima Marketing)
dew drop (from stash)
Stickles in Icicles and Frosted Lace (Ranger)

Digital Tuesday

This weeks challenge at Digital Tuesday is 'Emboss It' 

sorry for the bad photo.. I really don't have a clue why, but I couldn't get a better shot of this card - but it looks so much prettier in real life than on this image :-(

I embossed my turquois background with one of my cuttlebug folders :)

The image is a free digital stamp from Sketching Stamper Digi Stamps. I colored it in with my beloved Tombow markers and added some additional glitz with a clear Sakura glitter gel pen (hope you can see it on the close up)

stamps:
 Flower Vase (Sketching Stamper Digi Stamps)

color medium:
Tombow markers
Sakura Stardust clear gel pen

papers:
 No Place Like Home Paper Pack by Connie Prince

other supplies:
embossing folder (Provocraft)

Distress inks in Broken China (Ranger)
rose pigment ink (ColorBox)
