Verena has a REALLY fun Sketch for Freshly Made Sketches #723!
At first glance, I saw a stage with a spotlight... then my sweet tooth took over
and there appeared a cupcake... but while 'cooking up' that cupcake,
I thought of another item that might have just that top!
A hatbox!
I found just the right die in my stash to cut that ellipse from
SSS's Pop-Up Card Holder! Then it was quite simple to cut the bottom and
box-band using the edge of the die cut.
I know. It might be difficult to see
it but I couldn't help but decorate it with another of those Rosa Gallicas
from Altenew that I had out the other day. This time I clear embossed
the outline stamp and water colored it using a few Altenew watercolor pigments.
I'll keep the sentiment on the inside of this one!
Now, what do YOU see in Verena's sketch? We can't wait to see your
creations at FMS before February 16th at 3pm!

That bloom is absolutely GORGEOUS Michele!! You aced that soft water coloring and that hat box was the perfect spot to land your pretty blooms on! Amazing and beautiful card my friend...LOVE it!! Hugs. :0)
What an awesome interpretation of the sketch, Michele! Your flower is gorgeous!
Yes! I saw a hatbox, too, at one point but could NOT execute the design. Love the vintage feel and that stunning rose. The water coloring must have been very therapeutic and becoming a "go to" technique for you. More, please!
Your hatbox idea is absolutely brilliant, Michele! Not just brilliant, but softly stunning. Beautifully watercolored. What could be more feminine than a flower bedecked hat box? Love how you tucked that little bow in there, too. So lovely!
Swoon, swoon, swoon! Your cards are always perfect, Jo x
It's beautiful. Love your thought process too and the wonderful soft colours xx
So pretty! Great idea with the hat box
Your hatbox is gorgeous, Michele! The watercolored flowers and leaves are perfect and the little bow and gold gems add just the right amount of pizzazz!
I see your pretty little hatbox and I love the way you've decorated it!
Wow! Knock me over, Michele! This bloom is stunning in your chosen colors and it fits perfectly on the hatbox, such a unique choice. And your sentiment should not interupt such a pretty hatbox and flower
Golly, this is the prettiest hatbox I've seen! Thank you for sharing your creativity, Michele.
