Whoohoo!! Time for Tamara's sketch challenge!!! Her sketches are always fun to do, I look forward to them every week!! I feel very lucky to be a part of such a talented group of stampers - make sure you head on over to Tamara's to see what they did for this fabulous sketch! So, here is my take for this week - I wanted to use greens and blues, I was in that kind of mood. And, I wanted to incorporate my felt flowers, I have been really lovin' those lately!! I used my Baroque Motifs stamp set for this one, I will never tire of it - the swirls and all the different flowers are very me!!! And, I added some scalloped borders using my Scallop Edge Punch - I did two and then layered them on each other, and I am quite liking the look! I will leave you with the full recipe below!
