Well hello lovely crafty friends! I hope you have had a good week. Today, I have for you another card for Freshly Made Sketches #281
This is the sketch which is by Kim this week.
This is my card, explanation below as always.
For the stripes I used some gold foil card-stock and some gold glitter card-stock. Then, I used a fussy-cut water-coloured flower and leaves from the Simon Says Stamp 'Spring Flowers' stamp set and a swirl cut from vellum as my focal piece. I adhered all to a panel of white card-stock slightly smaller than my card base and then mounted that with some foam for some dimension.
I finished the whole thing off with a die-cut sentiment that had a generous lick of Wink Of Stella over it, a few of spots of black enamel accents and a little spritz of shimmer (of course).
Have a lovely weekend, wherever you are and whatever you do!

I love the gold mirri and glitter card you have used for the stripes Hazel and the prettily coloured flower looks great using the vellum for the flourish, and love the WOS on the contrasting die cut sentiment. x
