Card Patterns Sketch #136

I am guest designing this week at Card Patterns!  The sketch is a fun one to play with and inspired me to pull out my pattern papers to create a patchwork background. 

The background papers are from My Minds Eye - Lost and Found II.  I sponged the edges of the ivory card base and the papers with Ranger Distress ink - Vintage Photo.  The main image was stamped two times using brown ink on pattern paper.  The flowers and leaves were colored with watercolor pencils and highlighted with white gel pen.  I hand cut the flowers from the second image and pop dotted them to create layers. The sentiment is from Verses Rubbers Stamps -  Let us Be Grateful - QQ0852-F.

Here is the lovely sketch:

Thanks for being a Great Friend

The My Minds Eye blog has card layout challenge and the OCC challenge this week is to stamp on pattern paper.   Here is my take on both challenges:

The image is the jumbo cling Dahlia from Stampendous. Love it!  I stamped it over some beautiful Lost and Found II - Sunshine paper and colored the flower using watercolor pencils to add additional shading.  The letters are stickers and they were sponged and outlined in black ink.

Hope your week is going well. Weather here has shifted to very cool and fall like.
