Sketch Saturday - In Bloom

For this week’s sketch challenge I used the In Bloom Bundle. These Pierced Blooms Dies in the bundle are so pretty with all the stitching in them. I cut the flowers and leaves from the Butterfly Bijou Designer Series Paper and love how they turned out.

I love all the texture with the pierced flowers and the embossed layer.

On the inside, follow the masking steps to get the bottom part of the sentiment. Stamp the larger flower with Magenta Madness Ink but stamp off first to get a lighter shade. Stamp inside and dots using Magenta Madness Ink.
