This is for this week's sketch challenge featuring a great sketch from Janette as well as the color combo from today's color challenge (and I even got dessert!). I flipped the sketch for a vertical card. My leaf strip uses the inset embossing technique with Pistachio leaves adhered to my Artichoke strip before embossing in the Square Lattice ef. My image panel started with a marker-inked image that I then spritzed with water and stamped onto a piece of paper spritzed with water as well. I then used ink from the ink pad lid to watercolor my images. I went back and added some detail with pointillism dots. I also added some Marina spatter and sponging and did the same on my sentiment. I distressed the Artichoke frame for my sentiment. I used the Tulip Frame ef for my Pistachio back piece.
