Today I decided to play along with the folks over at Fab Friday. They have a pretty sketch up for their challenge. Take a look at my card:
And now take a look at the sketch:
Isn’t my card pretty? Here’s how it came together:
- Instead of the flourish that the sketch suggests, I went for a spray of flowers from Touches of Nature.
- My color scheme was taken from the pretty DSP (Designer Series Paper). It’s from the Blooms and Bliss Paper Pack. I pulled Mint Macaron and Island Indigo to use for my colors.
- I used Mint Macaron to add “splotches” from Touches of Nature to make my background “spray”.
- I embossed my flower spray in black and then used a blender pen to add color to the flowers.
- I embossed my sentiment from Happy Happenings in white on an Island Indigo piece of cardstock.
- I added a piece of Mint Macaron Lace Trim (retired) to the back of the sentiment strip.
Tah Dah! A super easy card done in about 10 minutes!
Happy stampin’,
Robin

This turned lovely! I'm such a sucker for stem images – love the coloring you've done on these! Thanks so much for playing at Fab Friday!
I'm sad to say that Island Indigo is a neglected color in my stamp room and after seeing it paired up with Mint Macaron I can't think why? This is a really pretty combo and perfect for those delicate flowers. The lace and splatters are nice elements! Thanks for sharing at Fab Friday!
This is so beautiful, Robin! I love the blues and bit of bling you've added to the pretty floral spray. Thanks for joining us at Fab Friday, your card is a great take on the sketch!
