It's Time! Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge #2

This weeks sketch was a bit more difficult than last weeks but just as fun! Don't forget to comment here if you play along so I can post your sample too. If you upload to SCS please use TSSC2 in the key words so we can see them all at once! Happy creating.

I am really having a hard time photographing my cards lately. It has been kind of gloomy around here. I think I need to break down and create photo box?? Anyway, this was a fun layout for me. It is the first time I am using the Berry Bliss dp and I love it. The base of the first card is Pretty in Pink followed by a layer of Purely Pomegranate that has the swirls from Baroque Motifs embossed with iridescent ice embossing powder to add a little bling. The large circle is a quarter of an eight inch circle cut from the dp. I added scallops around the edge in Pretty in Pink. Next I added some stitching marks with a Chocolate Chip marker. The focal image is from Fun and Fast Notes. I stamped it on Shimmery White card stock and embossed it in Chocolate Chip. It is colored in using markers and a silver glitter gel pen. It is layered on two scallops circles and finally on a 3 by 3 square of Chocolate Chip. The Forever and Always sentiment is from a Studio G set and is stamped in Chocolate Chip on Close to Cocoa. I added the stitch marks here too. As a finishing touch I added the doubled up Prima flowers with the Pretty in Pink brad. The second card also fits the try a new technique challenge on SCS which can be found here. I wanted to use up the other half of the half circle I cut and I was so excited that this fit perfect with my sketch this week. The base of this card is Close to Cocoa followed by Pretty in pink. The sentiment is from Visual Verve. I drew the lines to add a little interest to the pink, I did not want too much with all the other stuff going on. I added those stitching lines on the quarter circle again too. Hope you like it. Here are the other talented stampers links to what they were able to create with the same sketch!
