Sketch Challenge

I am doing a class in March using the set Embrace Life where everyone gets the set as part of the class fee, plus a 1/2 pack of Ginger Blossoms paper, and makes 5 projects-3 cards, a photo wallet, and a frame. I am still playing around with the layouts for the cards so I am using this set a lot!

(if you want to see my schedule of events you can see my SU! site www.brittastamps.stampinup.net )

For this sketch I used the small blossom buch and long stems from Embrace Life. All were colored in using Aquapainters and re-inkers. After coloring them in lightly, I used an Apricot marker to color in some of the sides to add a bit more depth to the flowers. The horizontal strip that goes along the back is Ginger Blossom paper. I stamped the blossom cluster repeatedly around the bg piece-I love how it makes it look like a background stamp!

The stemmed blossoms had Crystal Effects added on on 2 coats to give them nice thick dimension.
