Another challenge - Stampin Queens Sketch Challenge SQSC 31

Yes, it's me, again!, with another challenge.  This is the last Sneak Peek as I need to save the excitement for April 1st. I needed to make a card last week, and saw this Stampin Queens Sketch Challenge which was perfect for my design idea.  So here is my entry for SQCS 31!


Stamp Set:  Bright Blossoms

Card Stock:  Basic Black, Real Red, Whisper White, Glossy White (for the fussy cut vase with flower to give it a glossy look)

Ink:  Stampin' Write Markers - Real Red, Garden Green, Basic Black

Accessories: Basic Black Satin Ribbon, Real Red 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon, Punches - Large Scallop Circle, 1-3/4" Circle, Scallop Trim Border

I have to work on my photography, or maybe white is more difficult, because it just isn't showing that I used Stampin' Dimensionals between the card base and the background, underneath the scallop circle and then the vase if affixed to the scallop piece with Stampin' Dimensionals.  It just looks so must better IRL!!!

Here is the sketch:

So head on over to Stampin Queens Sketch Challenge to see what the design team and other entrants did with this sketch.

Keep on stampin'!
