Since I wasn't able to do this on Sunday, I'm combining the FS challenge w/ the sketch challenge. Congrats to Judy! I had a blast going thru your gallery. I finally decided on 3D Flower to case. I changed the flower, using the punches I had, changed the colors and layout (to comply w/ the sketch) and made mine a Valentine.
I stamped the flourish heart and greeting, then used two different sizes of heart punches. The edges were lightly sponged. I did the same w/ all the different flower punches, stamping on one and sponging the edges on the rest. These were layered and extra petals were glued in some places; the edges were slightly curled on most petals.
The heart block cb folder was used on the center bg and swiss dots was used on the other two. I used a red gel pen to doodle around the edges and added a little stickles to the flower and hearts. TFL
