I am doing a sample for Cindy's "it's a sketch" challenge (FTTC52A)! Please check out the Flourishes Anniversary Celebration post to find out how to play along!I started with a base of magenta metallic card stock and used some white metallic card stock for the squares. I embossed them with a CB folder and then used the Nestabilities blossom die cuts to make the focal panel. I used the Pansies from the Calendar1 Flourishes stamp set, stamping on wc paper and embossing with clear ep before cutting them out. The flowers were colored with Tombows. I used a Spellbinders die cut for the sentiment and added a few snippets of white taffeta ribbon and a couple of lavender Kaiser pearls for accents.
Great challenge Cindy and thanks for stopping by!

The shimmery elegance of your card here is WONDERFUL... The details just make me gasp for joy and I think I smell carnations! {Now THAT's technology! hee hee} This is joyful paper crafting at it's finest... 'Scuse me, I must go emboss something! More AMAZING inspiration!

I really like your use of that metallic card stock, I've never seen it before. I also love what you did with the ribbon use with the sentiment.

So pretty Carol, thanks so much for playing.
I love those blossom dies. I've put them in my cart so many times and then ended up putting them back. I REALLY need to get them. I'm always drawn to them when I see them on blogs and in the SCS galleries.
Beautiful! I love your pansies!
Love the embossing and the use of the Blossoms Nestabilities. Elegant, but I wouldn't expect anything less from one of Cindy's sketches.
