When I saw the lovely sketch over at A Gem of a Challenge, I knew I had to play along, I do so love a good sketchie!
I used a Pink Gem digi for this one, I'm slowly amassing a large collection of these lovely images, I've coloured it with Promarkers to match these gorgeous Prima Sun Kiss papers. After die cutting the topper, I used some Scattered Straw Distress Ink round the edges while it was still in the die for a warm and sunny feel, I also used Wild Honey on the edges of the papers.
The sentiment was stamped with a stamp from a Papermania set, I thought it was a good match for this image and the colours. The lacy strip along the bottom was made with a Martha Stewart punch and the flowers were made with Woodware punches. I used these daisy punches a lot, I have all the sizes so they layer up beautifully, they were originally bought to make my sister's wedding invites but they've been used so much since. To give the petals some shape, I crimp the larger ones with tweezers and shape the smaller ones with a ball tool.
To finish my card I added some ribbon, a bow, some blue pearls and a few tiny punched butterflies.
