This was my submission for a couple of challenges this weekend: the Inspiration Challenge #176 at SCS, and Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge #77 that was hosted by Lori Craig for this weekend. The inspiration piece were the Tropiq Matches from Skeem's Website. I started with a Tangerine Tango Cardstock base, then matted each additional layer with Taken With Teal Cardstock. The large green panel was Kiwi Kiss Cardstock that had been pierced with a Mat Pack and Paper Piercer. The Whisper White Cardstock focal panel was also pierced, then the leaves from the set "Petal Pizazz" were stamped in . The flowers were from the same set, and they were stamped on a Kiwi Kiss Classic Ink scrap piece of white cardstock in Tangerine Tango Classic Ink and Taken With Teal Classic Ink. After the flowers were cut out using CutterBee Scissors, they were popped off of each other using Dimensionals. An Antique Brass Build-a-Brad was added to the center of the bloom, then the flower was attached to the focal panel using Dimensionals also. The sentiment was from the set "Very Versatile", and was stamped in teal ink using a Stamp-a-ma-jig and Image Sheet for proper placement. The only other embellishments used were 5/8" Tangerine Tango Striped Grosgrain Ribbon and Linen Thread.Thanks for stopping by, and I will be posting another card in just a few for Jen del Muro's Sketch For You To Try that was posted today. Until then...
