...Inspired Sketch With Pizazz

This is my submission for both Kristina Werner's Color Inspiration #36, and Sketch Challenge #209 at Splitcoaststampers.com. I started with a Rose Red Cardstock base, and also matted each additional layer with the same. The green polka-dotted paper was from the Old Olive Designer Series Paper pack, while the pink was from the Bella Rose Designer Series Paper pack. Each layer was pierced using a Mat Pack and Paper Piercer, then a piece of 5/8" Old Olive Grosgrain Ribbon was tied around the upper panels. The sentiment, from the set "Short & Sweet", was stamped in Jet Black Staz-On Ink using a Stamp-a-ma-jig and Image Sheet to ensure proper placement. The gorgeous flowers are from the upcoming catalog set called "Petal Pizazz" which will be available on January 19th. The flowers were stamped in the inspiration colors, then cut out using CutterBee Scissors. I added some height by popping up extra flower pieces with Dimensionals, then added a Circle Designer Brad to the center of the largest bloom.
That's it for today! Thanks for stopping by, and I want to wish you all a very Happy New Year! I hope to have something to post for you some time in the afternoon, but I can't make any promises...I may not be home until late! Until later...
