It is a rainy, cold day here today! Perfect day for playing in my studio! I decided to play along with the CAS(E) this Sketch #157 over at the CAS(E) this Sketch Blog.
Isn't this a cute sketch!
I started with a piece of watercolor paper for the card front. I sponged on Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Tumbled Glass, Broken China, Shabby Shutters, and Mowed Grass, and the spritzed with water to create the background.
I used dies from Taylored Expressions to create the scene, including the Little Bits - Sun & Clouds, the Cloud Duo, and the Build A Scene - Trees. The sentiment is from the Simply Stamped - Sunflowers Stamp Set.
The sentiment is stamped in a white pigment ink and embossing with white embossing powder and then die cut with the Stitched Banner Stacklets. The final touch was to add machine stitching and a few pretty, clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.
Thanks for stopping by!
