Penny Black Sketch meets Color Throwdown colors!

There was no doubt in my mind that I would pull out that gorgeous PB Enchantingly for Sketch #11 from the PB&J New Year Card Making series that uses Sketches to inspire our cards.  HERE you'll find the three ways Jill has used her Sketch... speaking of:


Lucky me - I had the littlest of their Classy Frames ready to go!


Stamped on Canson watercolor card in Archival Espresso ink and colored
using only two inks: Distress Gathered Twigs, and Festive Berries!

I rearranged the flowers a bit - also the die cut word - and added
just a little bit of 'filler' floral from Altenew to round out the focal triangle.


This lovely sentiment is another from the PB Loving Friend set - stamped 
with CP Icing on the Cake.
The die cut friend: PB Friend Edger

Now you might wonder why I used brown for the leaves.  I had this fabulous inspiration from Color Throwdown #826 in my brain, that's why!


I hope the varied shades of pink are allowed - those cookies made me do it!

It's beautiful. I love the softly shaded background, your perfect water colouring and those splatters. A feast for the eyes xx

I came to visit you today Michele - to find inspiration for a sympathy card, and find it I did with this beautiful card - what lovely watercoloring and sponging. The brown tones it down a bit which is perfect for a sympathy card - now to go and see if I have any stem/bloom stamps hiding in my room (I'm sure I do!) thank you for the inspiration! Julia xx
