Tasteful Touches Sketch Challenge

Hi Everyone,

Those of you who follow me will know that I regularly show you projects that are challenges.  Sometimes it's colours, sometimes a particular product and sometimes it's a sketch.  I do lots of challenges with two of my crafty friends - Taffycrafting (Donna Lester) and Vickieloudesigns (Victoria Littlewood) and we have a regular weekly one called Share it on a Sunday. Well, now Donna has challenged us to do some sketch challenges over the next few weeks to keep our creative mojo going and I'm going to use them as a chance to show you new products as well as some old favourites that I haven't used for a while.  So, here goes with my Challenge 6, I hope that you like it

Materials

1 piece of Rococco Rose card stock 5 7/8" x 8 1/4"
1 piece of Whisper White card stock 3 7/8" x 5 5/8" for the inside
1 piece of In Good Taste dsp 3 1/4" x 4 3/4"
1 piece of Rococco Rose Linen Ribbon approx 3 3/4"
3" Whisper White circle (approx)
Layering circle dies
Die Cuttine machine
Tasteful Touches stamp set
Rococco Rose ink
Mint Macaron ink
Tear and tape
Multipurpose adhesive
Trimmer
Simply scored
Bone folder

Instructions

Score the rococco rose card stock at 4 1/8" and fold and burnish to make the card base.

Using mint macaron ink stamp four leaf sprigs on the dsp.

Using rococco rose ink stamp the sentiment towards the top of the circle that you have die cut, then stamp two flowers, but stamp off first so its a lighter colour.

Stamp two flowers on the whisper white layer for the inside and adhere in place.

Adhere the dsp to the centre of the card front and then add the ribbon across the centre using tear and tape.  Add dimensionals to the back of the circle and then fix in place over the ribbon in the centre of the card.

Using sketches is a great way to restart your mojo and give you ideas.  You could make this layout in any number of different combinations, why don't you give it a try.
