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)
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome interpretation of the sketch, Michele! Your flower is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYes! 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!
ReplyDeleteYour 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!
