OCC - A Rosey Sketch

We have a fun sketch challenge for you over at Our Creative Corner! This month's hostess Laurie Schmidlin selected this beautiful sketch for us to play around with, and as usual, I tampered with mine! It accidentally got flipped upside down...well, maybe not so accidentally *grin*



I combined 2 Stampin' Up! sets to created the images for this card. The sentiment is from the Morning Soft set and I decided to try another non-colouring card with A Rose is a Rose. I bought both of these sets last year and I haven't had many opportunities to use them *pout* I wanted to paper tole the roses so I chose to use 140lb cold press watercolour paper because it is nice and heavy and it doesn't bend easily.



I'm really quite taken with how this card turned out! I was a little skeered at first because I don't generally use a lot of images that don't require colouring, but these had just enough detail in them for the card :) I'm loving the Bella Rose DP too...wish I had ordered more of it!

We would like to invite you all to play along with Laurie's sketch and there is a wonderful prize to be drawn! OCC's very own Jennifer Meyer just opened up a brand new stamp company called Stamps and Smiles and she is sponsoring our prize this week with one of her own stamp sets!!
