The sketch was so simple, it was hard! Decided on using subtle "stripes" by scoring, and a very simple stamped image appropriate for a sympathy card. The poppy was stamped in Calypso Coral, then water colored using an Aqua Painter dipped in a VERY small amount of ink. The stamen were colored a subtle yellow using Summer Sun marker.
To achieve the deeper shadow effect on the stripes, I first scored the stripes from the front, then turned the card over and scored in between and scored (using the front scores as a guide where to start and stop to avoid scoring over the flower stems.

What a gorgeous CAS card! I love that you scored the lines in the card to mimic the sketch. That's so clever...wish I had thought of it! Thanks for joining us at Create with Connie and Mary!

What a clever idea to use the reverse embossed stripes for the sketch element - I would never have thought of that, so effective! Thanks for joining us over at Create With Connie and Mary this week!
