Hi everyone, I am playing along with the challenge this week at Just Add Ink.
How great is this sketch. I have been in a little rut lately just using the same layouts on my cards, so it was rather exciting to have a great sketch to create with.
I went with a monochromatic look for my card, using a piece of patterned paper from the World of Good Specialty Designer Series Paper.
The piece of Whisper White I cut at 8cm x 14.9cm, cutting on the diagonal 5cm up one side to the point on the other side. This gave the diagonal on the piece. I then embossed this piece with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder.

The stamp set that I have used is Forever Fern. The large leaf was stamped using Crumb Cake ink with the small leaves being stamped with Early Espresso (2nd generation stamped). These were cut out using the matching Forever Flourishing Dies. A set of Gold Foil leaves were also die cut for the floral arrangement around the circle.
I love the circle element on the sketch, it gave me a chance to use the new Gold Hoops Elements which I backed onto an Early Espresso Stitched Shape Circle. I arranged the die cut elements on one side of the circles, adding a small Gold Trim bow. The trim is from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack.
The sentiment was stamped with Early Espresso ink on a piece of Whisper White before being die cut with the die from the Tasteful Labels Dies.
A few Gold Glitter Enamel Dots were added to finish the card.
For the inside I stamp the large leaf image using Crumb Cake ink on a piece of Whisper White before adhering to the card.
