They always manage to come up with great sketches and this one is no exception. It really makes our job a bit of a doddle!
This is my take.
First, I took my Simon Says Stamp 'Vent' die and ran it through twice on the diagonal. Then I cut some flowers and leaves out of coloured cardstock and some vellum. I sponged the edges of the petals and leaves to give it a little dimension.
Next, I blended some different shades of distress inks on to a strip of cardstock and mounted that behind the cut-outs for some colour and also to strengthen the top layer, where the vent die had weakend it.
I assembled everything together, stamped the sentiment and mounted the whole panel to a white base card using some fun foam for even more stability. I finished off with a touch of my Wink Of Stella on the flower petals.
Supplies used:
Dies: SSS, 'Vent', 'Leaf Cluster' and Lil' Inker, Flower
Sentiment: Imagine That, 'Hello Sunshine'

Wow Hazel, I am loving your take on the sketch! That vent die is so cool, never saw one like that before. I love the look it gives and I love the blue you placed behind the vent cutout. Your flower is beautiful, I love the shimmer and glitter of the wink of stella, you have the flower and the leaves inked so pretty, and your "ghost" leaves are fabulous!! Hugs, Brenda
