Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge!!!!!



It is time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC6)!

This week Kimberly Crawford is hosting the Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge. Kimberly has provided us with a sketch to test our card making skills. As far as sketches go, there is not much explanation necessary. You can turn it and enlarge the sections to fit your card size. However, in the end, it should still look like the sketch. Good Luck!!!! Looking forward to seeing what you do with it!!!

For my card, I am using the Signs of Spring set. I added layers of the Basic Gray Porcelain dp. I love these colors and patterns. I am combining this challenge with the Flourishes Getting Sentimental Challenge which part of Flourishes release week. More info on that in a bit. I love this quote and the flower is the perfect size. I am using the small daffodil that comes in the set. I added some soft sponging around the edge of the oval to create a subtle framing effect for the sentiment. I finished my card with a die cut flower, a button, and some dew drops.

Do not forget to check out the Flourishes Blog Team's blogs
to see what they did with this sketch challenge!!!
