This card is for three challenges: TLC466 "Make Your Own Stamps", CC463 "Coastal Saffron Tango", and SC473, today's sketch challenge.
I die cut craft foam with ECD Flower Set2 dies and stamped on white cs using HA shadow inks. The flowers were outlined with a combination of Sharpie and Distress markers, depending on which one came closest to matching the color of the flower. The Tide Pool flowers were also outlined with clear Stardust pen.
I cut the yellow panel with SB Matting Basics, adhered it to the card front and die cut a smaller rectangle from both pieces. I had already colored a strip of white cs with the Soft Cantaloupe ink and embossed the sentiment with white ep; this was positioned in the opening and taped to the back of the card front. This was attached to the card base and wound with crochet thread I died with the Tide Pool ink. I had the Stickos on all the flower centers, but it was WAY too much, so I left them on the blue flowers only.
As always, thanks for looking!
