So many options with this sketch, but in the end I went with a quick and simple one.....details....
Was intriqued by the Wednesday tutorial, "pastels on black". Gave it a try with a slight tweak. I used kraft cs instead of black, black ep instead of white and chalk pastels instead of pastel pencils since I didn't have any. BUT they are on order! hehe
On my kraft I stamped a Hero Arts flower, black eb it the colored the middles with the chalk pastels blending with a Q-tip. For the petals I colored them with bleach.
Did some faux stitching on the edges to make this look like a shade on a window. For the top panel of my now window, I krimped some kraft cs and double popped it up on top.
For the circle, I cut one out and sponged it with sunshine yellow and sunset orange making it a sun.
Took red embrodery floss, knotted it and added a heart button for the faux pull on my shade.
Scored a white AC card, sponged the edges with tea dye, put on the sun, shade pull, popped up the shade and double popped up the valance.
What a fun sketch Taylor. Hope everyone had a great day. Mine was a tad cold with the wind blowing. Oh well!......TFL :0)

Super creative and sunshiny lovely! Cool technique and the bleach on the flowers was a great idea. I wish I'd have seen this out of my window this morning! We usually have sun but it's been dreary all day.
