Weekend Sketch Challenge #16

Here's what I came up with using Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge #16 sketch. :) You can find Beate's original post and fabulous sample here. I really liked this sketch, I think it can be used SO many different ways!

I wasn't sure what size the card was supposed to be, so this is a little on the large side... :P I started with a Chocolate Chip CS base of 4 1/4 x 7", and then cut out my Purely Pomegranate and Soft Sky layers. Then I stamped my flower image in Purely Pomegranate onto Whisper White, and layered it on top of Soft Sky and Chocolate Chip CS.

I placed my stamped image onto the larger Soft Sky layer to get an idea of where I wanted to stamp the flourishes. Once the flourishes were stamped with Chocolate Chip, I stamped the sentiment in Purely Pomegranate... Lucky for me it lined up perfectly on the first try! I have a Stamp-a-majig, but never seem to have my hands on it when I need it, so usually I end up eyeballing things. It doesn't always work so well! LOL

I adhered all my layers, used my paper piercer to poke a few holes, added a little ribbon and voila, it's done! :)

Details:
Stamps - Stem Silhouettes, Priceless
Ink - Purely Pomegranate, Chocolate Chip
Paper - Chocolate Chip, Purely Pomegranate, Soft Sky, Whisper White
Miscellaneous - Purely Pomegranate Double Stitched Ribbon
