Holly gave us a lovely sketch this week that was simple enough for me. This card started out for WT371, to use reinkers. I hadn't done polished stone in awhile so I played with that. I stared with pearlized lilac CS, with Wild Wasabi, Handsome Hunter and Pear Pizzaz reinkers and copper metallic. Stamped the images from Blossoms Abound in craft ink and heat embossed, but the images weren't clear enough for a focal point. Forward 2 weeks and it became the BG for the heat-embossed ODBD sentiment, to which I'd added score lines for interest. Flipped the sketch to get the most of my BG, added the memory box Savannah Border in Wasabi and MS Hydrangea punches, layered with Crystal effects and glue dots. Added white centers to the blossoms, the MS butterfly and done. PT - 27 or so...
Thank you so much for looking. Have a peaceful day.

I love that vine diecut. I've got a list of diecuts a mile long -- and I think something like this one is going to work its way to the top. I like how how used the sentiment as the focal point of your beautiful card.
