Hello friends! I made this card for the Freshly Made Sketches #424 using the brand new stamp of the month Blessings in Disguise from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. One of the things I love about this set, besides the images, is the sentiments! Love the different ways you can combine them!
I stamped the image onto Canson XL watercolor paper with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink. I colored with Arteza Real Brush Pens (lemon yellow, bumblebee yellow & olive green) and fussy cut out. Next, I stamped the words onto kraft cardstock with the same black ink. First, I dry embossed the kraft panel with a Darcie honeycomb folder. Then, I die cut it with a Double Stitched In and Out Cut Rectangle set from Gina Marie Designs. I cut a piece of black cardstock and clipped the end. I attached all the layers as seen, popped the flower up with foam tape and attached the sequins as the final touch.

Thanks for stopping by and have a fantastic day!
