Smell the Flowers


The CAS challenge yesterday over on SCS was a sketch challenge based on this super cute card. I love the colors and the simple layout and those gingham apples are wonderful aren't they?!!  I thought about what to use and decided on this adorable set from Waltzingmouse Stamps called Sewing Box - Hugs.

I stayed with the gingham theme by using gingham for the centers of the flowers and colored the outer two layers using Copic markers.  The bottom strip of ties it all together and is paper pierced also.  

The card size is 4.25" square and I used Gina K Designs Pure Luxury 120 lb cardstock for the card.  Not only is it a great weight for a card base (you won't have your card sagging because it's too weak to stand up - ha ha!), but it's perfect for coloring with Copics AND with this cardstock the Copics will not bleed on the back of the cardstock so you can made a one layer card and still have it look perfect on the inside!   If you haven't tried it yet you really should, it really is fabulous!!

Thanks so much for visiting today - have a great day!!

Cardstock: White (Gina K Designs Pure Luxury), Patterned Paper:  Egg Drop Soup collection (Jillibean Soup), Stamps: Sewing Box - Hugs (Waltzingmouse Stamps), Ink: Memento, Accessories:  Copic markers, paper piercer, corner rounder punch, foam adhesive
