Inspirational Card Sketchers


There is a lovely sketch by Dawn B for this weeks ISC challenge. This card is also for this weeks ABC challenge where the theme is "O for Orderly - a balanced card - if you use a flower on your card this needs to be balanced with another", mine is balanced with three pearls.

I had off cuts from some leaves I cut on the cricut what were screaming out to be stencils, so I used these to chalk the background onto which I stamped PSX G2007. This was stamped twice and the flowers and bird decoupaged after colouring with Sakura pens and pearl stamens added. DP is Doodlebug Designs bubblegum boutique and the flowers cut with punches.
