Creative Inspirations Sketch Challenge...

Hi everyone, Creative Inspirations have a new challenge on this week, it's a sketch.......................

I immediately wanted to go back to my Magnolias for this one (they are my comfort zone don't you know!) and thought that the open gate has a lovely semi-circular patch of flowers on the left so this could be part of my main image. I also wanted to use my new stamp Chinese Tilda so this was the following result!

I edged the backing papers with walnut stain distress ink and diamond stickles. I used stardust stickles under Tildas feet, on her umbrella and on the flowers, and Sakura clear star gelly roll pen on her dress, on the fence and on the umbrella... Here's a closer view....

I noticed after using my spellbinders to cut the circle out that I'd chopped half the flowers away, so I stamped these again, coloured and cut them out and used them as a decoupage, they were quite fiddly though! The flowers in each corner of the card are punched using a Martha Stewart 3 hydrangeas die onto plain cardstock which I coloured using my whispers brushstrokes and added stickles (stardust) and a gem to. I hope you like her, I'm certainly more pleased with this than last weeks effort!
