Sweet Sunday Sketch 227 {smile}

Happy Sunday. It's time for another fun sketch with the Sweet Sunday Sketch team. I pulled out my Lil' Inker Designs products for today's card. I love how it turned out so soft and pretty! (links are listed below).

I used the Modern Mendi LID stamp set and matching dies for my corner accent on the main panel. Distress Markers were used to watercolor some watercolor distress cardstock. I scribbled the colors I wanted on my craft mat, then  spirtzed it with some water and carefully laid my cardstock on top. I let it dry and then stamped the  flower in Archival black ink. 

For the leaves, I clear embossed them and then used my aqua painter to color them in. I tried this with the flower and it just didn't look right, so I opted for the other watercolor technique for that. I added some black thread behind it to help make it pop!

I used the fabulous Smile Word Die form LID. Gosh I love the font of these brushstroke words. In the background you'll see some stitched stripes. I manipulated the Stitches & Stripes Cover plate to get those three strips and then adhered them to my card base. The piece of vellum was cut with the Stitched Mats-rectangle die from LID. 

Here is the sketch for this week.
