Sketches and Colour Challenges

So last night I decided to try another sketch from Hero Arts current April contest with some of my favourite colours.  Wee Memories is currently having their 50th challenge and it's all about the colours that inspire us!

I have many, but this card showcases some of them.

Paper: PTI cardstock; Neenah Solar White
Ink: Soft Leaf shadow ink (HA); Vintage Photo DI; Memento Tuxedo Black; Versamark
Stamps: Hero Arts
Other: Glittered Skittle (My Next Stamp); White EP

On the vertical strip I stamped the Fern stamp using the Soft Leaf shadow ink.  On the horizontal strip I stamped the Envelope Pattern stamp with some Vintage Photo DI and stamped and coloured the sentiment. 

My favourite is that flower!  It's from the Hero Arts "3 Dotted Flower" set, I used all three sizes of flowers and stamped them with Versamark on Sweet Blush cardstock and then embossed with white embossing powder!  When I layered the flower I used some little dimensional dots to make it more real!  And do you see that beautiful pink glittery gem in the centre?  It's called a "glittered skittle" and you can find it HERE at Your Next Stamp! (I actually won these from Karen's blog)! They are ultra light and not really bulky, so realy nice for cards or layouts!

I also inked all the edges with some Vintage Photo DI. I just love these soft feminine colours.  To think that I had no pink in my wardrobe until the day that Natasha was born!
