Creative Craft Cottage Challenge #27 - with a sketch

Welcome

It is time for another challenge over at the Creative Craft Cottage Challenge, and this time it is a sketch and/or colour challenge.

  

I chose to work with the sketch, which I flipped.


The image I used for the panel came from McMahon Five Design - unfortunately I cannot link to the store as it is currently closed.  I printed it out, cut it using an oval SB die and lightly sponged the background before I removed it.  
The flowers were coloured with prisma coloured pencils.


The wee stamp was one that came as a freebie with a magazine, supplied by Crafty individuals.  I stamped it with Cocoa Ink and coloured it with chalks, and added some Kindy Glitz for a wee bit of sparkle.


The elements of the sketch were made using lace for the horizontal line and web ribbon for the vertical banner shape.


The background dp was some sent to me in a RAK by the lovely Kelly, the Sandcastle Stamper

I am linking this to:

Thank you for visiting - any comments you may leave are deeply appreciated
May your day be blessed
