This is for today's sketch challenge with a fun sketch from Korin. I had a strip leftover from cutting the leaf die and I started by sponging the leaves in Summer Starfruit on a strip of Whisper White. I sponged some Gumball Green around the edges then spritzed with a spray made with Always Artichoke reinker and water (my spray is darker than I'd planned because the ink wasn't coming out no matter how hard I pressed, then once I cleared the nozzle of the reinker bottle I forgot that I didn't need to squeeze so hard!) My circle is punched then embossed with the Elegant Bouquet ef. I used the de-bossed side and filled in the depression with Versamarker then embossed clear ep. I sponged some Gumball on the edges of this. I stamped my sentiment in Gumball then used my 1" square punch to notch one end. I'm trying to stretch myself to use these colors which aren't my faves!
