SC344

I love doing the card sketch challenges on Splitcoaststampers.com.  It's fun to copy other people's work, but I'm rarely happy with it.  It's like when you take a picture with you to the beauty shop of what you want your hair to look like.  It rarely works.  That's the beauty of a sketch challenge, it's all yours!  I'm almost always happy with what I create.  They give you the bare bones and you work your magic.  Click here for the sketch that the above card was based on. 
Supplies-
Stamps: Swirls & Curls Verses
Paper: certainly celery, pretty in pink, pretty in pink patterns, whisper white
Ink: certainly celery, pretty in pink
Accessories: sponge daubers, circle punches, scallop circle punch, beautiful wings embosslit, big shot, flower garden embossing folder, certainly celery ribbon, eyelet border punch, dimensionals, blender pen, glue dots
Techniques: using punches, sponging embossed image, dry embossing, die cutting 

This technique is really easy.  Use a sponge dauber to go over only the raised areas, then go back and dab some ink on the flowers.  If you get ink somewhere you don't want it, cover with a butterfly!
