AnnaBelle Stamps Sketch Challenge ABSC039

Welcome back to another monthly sketch challenge from AnnaBelle Stamps. Before I talk about my card, I have to apologise if the colours and quality are not very good. My trusty laptop's battery decided to give up this week so I am waiting for a replacement and in the meantime I am using my ancient desktop computer which has really bad lighting. So when I edit my photos to make them clearer for this old computer, it probably is making them look worse really! It makes me realise how attached I have become to my laptop and how much I miss it. So please bear with me for the next week or so with my posts!

Anyway onto the challenge cards and I decided to use Mother's Day Bouquet for these two gift sized cards as the vase and flowers can be adapted to any occasion.

I used some Cristina Re designer paper for both the top and bottom of the card, adhering some white ribbon to cover the join. My vase was stamped in Certainly Celery ink and then the flowers added in Tuxedo Black in and coloured with my Copics. A tiny strip of the DP was added above my sentiment from the All Things Grow set which was stamped in Melon Mambo ink. I added some white adhesive pearls for my bling.

On the inside I continued the theme with the same DP and added a sentiment from Mother's Day Bouquet in Melon Mambo ink.

The next card uses another vase from the Mother's Day Bouquet set, stamped in Pretty In Pink ink with the same flowers. Again I added a tiny strip of DP above the sentiment which was stamped in Old Olive ink. I used some more DP from the same Cristina Re paper pack for my background.

On the inside I stamped my sentiment in Old Olive ink.
