I have lots of new goodies since last we've gathered. On the top of the list to use is a fabulous, beautiful set designed by my friend May Park called Oriental Orchid ... here's what I've done with it for this week's sketch ... a match made in Heaven, I think!
For it's first use, I've chosen to white heat-emboss the outline of the orchids onto linen vellum, and add a bit of simple coloring on the reverse with Copics. A sprinkling of wonderful sequins [a very generous gift in my W&W order] and voila!
A little close-up and I'll leave you with my thanks, and a wish to see YOU in our CAS[E] this Sketch gallery this week!
Please, be sure to check out all the loveliness my team-mates have to inspire us!
