Say it with a sketch

Hello. It is Friday again. This week at AnnaBelle Stamps we have a fun sketch challenge for you.

As you can see, I am still in Copic colouring mode – but this time I added in some gel pen to add more interest to the flowers. For the circle element I have embossed a circle using a circle nestie and an embossing mat. The flower centres are blobs of white enamel accents – love this stuff!

Happy Birthday

I am entering this card into the Simon Says Stamps ‘Flower Power’Β Challenge and also into the CASology challenge where the cue card is Bloom.

Happy Birthday - detail
