I love using Sketches for cardmaking - I find it really helps me. For this card, I have used the Sketch from the Penny Black Saturday Challenge Blogspot - Week 51: see this link - http://pennybfriendssaturdaychalleng...1a-sketch.html
Flowery Mimi is from Pink Gem Designs - http://www.pinkgemdesigns.com/catalo...mimi-p-64.html and was stamped on Elzybells smooth white cs with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured with Prismacolor pencils + Gamsol, and I added Kindyglitz to all the flowers. The image is popped up on 1mm mounts.
Using a scrap of Colormates Dark Racy Raspberry cs, I punched one side with my Fiskars Scallop border punch. The lemon panel has been embossed with my CB using the Sizzix Textured Impressions Flowers folder from the Dots and Flowers set. The sentiment is from Elzybells- http://www.elzybells.co.uk/showdetails.asp?id=742 and was stamped with Versacolor Burgundy ink and embossed with clear ep. The lemon ribbon was attached with a glue dot, and I popped the sentiment panel up on 1mm mounts.
As I had no flowers or any embellies in the right colour, I thought I would try using some of my rather large material stash and make my own using my Clover Small Quick Yo-yo flower maker. It only took a few minutes and I sewed the lemon button onto the centre and voila - home-made embellies. I think they look really nice with the Basic Grey Lemonade dp. I attached them to the card with Pritt glue.
Thanks for having a peek at my card :-)
