December Flip It Sketch Challenge!

Snowy Greetings from up North!  It’s white and fluffy in my neck of the woods, so it’s feeling very Christmas-like here.  Welcome to the kick-off of our December release! Today two of the Flourishes Design Teams are ushering in a challenge and YOU could walk away winning all of our new sets for December! Here’s how to get in on the fun. All you need to do is play in the…..Flip it Sketch Challenge!

 

We have two great sketches for you to choose from and I chose to work with the more horizontal sketch for this design, making a card for one of the girls in our High School group that I just baptized last week.  It was so special!  

What I love about these sketches is the slightly wonky angles.  I think it really adds interest for the eye to follow along.  

I started with a couple of sets from the beautiful Flourishes Blossom Collection, Letters in Blossom and Summer Blossoms.  I began by stamping the various smaller blossoms from the Summer Blossoms set onto Flourishes Classic White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  I also die cut a smaller shape from the Perfectly Pierced Classic Frames Die for the pretty letter, adding a little bough of flowers popped up from the Summer Blossoms set to work with the sketch.  I picked some colours I knew she’d like as her favourite color is blue, and I coloured up all the elements with Copics.  

To make the layers of the sketch work I used our Color Made Easy - True Blue Collection of cardstock, adding some soft white lace, blue seambinding, enamel dots and the light stamping of the Sending Love sentiment in Summer Sky Memento ink.  To differentiate between the blue layers of cardstock I did add a little embossing to the darker blue layer.  

I love how pretty and feminine it turned out!  And so personalized too, which I think is special.  

Next week we’ll be bringing you our December edition of new Flourishes Stamps, that you’ll love!  Because we know you want a chance to win these great sets,  We have two fantastic angled sketches for you to play with.  All you need to do is pick one of them and create!   Play in the challenge and you could win our whole December Release!
