Flourishes Timeless Tuesday--FTTC154: Peaches

[If you are looking for my Tuesday Morning Sketches #131 post, click here]

Hi Blog Friends! Happy Tuesday!!! It's that time again...Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge! This is my last week as a Guest Designer for this challenge, :( and I want to thank the super talented Timeless Tuesday Design Team for allowing me to hang out with them for the past few weeks. I've had a blast, Ladies! :~D

Before I get to the challenge and my card today, I also want to thank the ladies at Lily Pad for choosing my card as the winner in Kathy's Lily Pad Palette Challenge. What a great way to start the week!!!

Now, for this week's Timeless Tuesday challenge, Silke has given us an awesome sketch. Check it out...

And, here's my card:

I stamped the peaches stamp, from the Cherries & Peaches stamp set, in Rich Cocoa Memento ink, colored the image with Copics and cut it out using the out of the box technique. It's mounted onto a Parisian Motif Spellbinders die cut.

The four dp panels behind the peaches are each sewn to a layer of black cs, then rather than stack them, I wove them together because I just couldn't decide which dp I wanted to be most prominent. This way, they get equal billing. :)





The front of the card, while simple, is a little busy, so I wanted to keep the inside fairly plain. I used a sentiment from the Pears stamp set, attached dp triangles to each of the sides of the white cs, then attached that to black cs. 

I really enjoyed working on this card. The sketch gave me an opportunity to play with mixing patterned papers, which I love to do (Lily Pad Patterned Paper Challenge, here I come!). But, also, I recently acquired some of Flourishes' Classic White cardstock for using when I color with my Copics, and, Oh My Gosh...if you use Copics you need to try this cardstock! I was able to blend my colors so much better on it, and bleeding beyond the lines was almost totally non-existent--even with reds. I am by no means an artist, but using this cs sure makes me feel like one! :D

Now, it's your turn. Show us your style with Silke's sketch and link your creation using the Inlinkz widget on Flourishes' Timeless Tuesday FTTC154 blog post by Monday at 6:00 PM EST. One lucky person is going to win a $10 Flourishes gift code! 

It's no longer a challenge requirement to leave comments on all the designers blogs, but you're not going to want to miss their creations this week. Take a gander at what they've created, then grab a big bucket--your creative juices are going to be flowing! ;)
