I created this for the sketch challenge, hosted by Cindy Haffner (MFTDT member, current Dirty Girl, and all-around sweetheart and fabulous stamper!!). I used 'Build A Bouquet' by My Favorite Things. I've had this set for a while now and hadn't had much time to play with it. I love it!! Lots of different styles and sizes of flowers, which is just perfect because I like to use lots of layers when I 'build' my flowers. ('Build' my flowers........ Build' a Bouquet....ha!!) ANYway.... I used the MFT sketch as my starting point, though I did cheat a little. (I added a Ribbon Blossom to the left side of the main image.) I don't often do the sketch challenges here on SCS, but I am really starting to like them for helping me find my mojo.
(The lighter-colored flowers are Eggplant stamped off once, then stamped again and cut out.) I found the large gold brads in the office supply section at a local store---100 brads for just a little over a dollar-can't beat that! (I go through a TON of brads, so it's great to find a deal!)
Be sure to check out the sketch challenge on the MFT Forum....there are some really nice sketch challenges to inspire you too!
Thanks for looking---hope you like it!
Have a great afternoon everybody!

You put the wow in WOWZA with this one. What a lot of detail but the card you've 'built' is amazing! (One of these days the office supply stores are gonna figure out that crafters are buying their supplies for cardmaking and they'll up the price on us!)

Think if you buttter me up I wouldn't send the challenge police over? Just kidding Pam, this is gorgeous, I love all those layers girl. Just perfect. Looks like my sketch to me only prettier. The idea is to have fun and looks like you had tooo much fun.
