A Poppy for the Papertake Weekly Challenge

I got a chance to participate in this week's Papertake Weekly Challenge that is sponsored by My Creative Classroom. The challenge this week was a sketch and I have to admit, that a sketch challenge is my favourite kind of challenge :)




I finally got a chance to step foot into my craft room after being away camping for most of the month of August. It felt a little strange to pick up my card making supplies and being creative! But I quickly got over the foreign feeling and pulled out this gorgeous set from Flourishes that I have been itching to get inky for quite some time! lol




I stamped the poppy three different times and watercoloured various pieces of it with my aqua pen and Tombow markers and then paper toled it to be 3Dimensional. I then placed the poppy onto my sponged background and then added the little frame that I made with my Nestabilities. I paired up the poppy with my Martha Stewart twig punch to created the fun leaves and added a sentiment from on of my sets from a rather large direct sales stamp company.

The Gina K ivory card stock was run through my cuttlebug and then sponged and distressed to warm up the paper to blend it with the tones of the designer papers. I rounded all the corners with my Chomper Tool and stitched most of the edges with coordinating threads.

I had a great time with this sketch and don't forget to play along this week as the girls from MCC are donating a $25 gift certificate for this week's prize and it can be towards the class of your choosing :)
