I just love this image from Thoughts and Prayers, even though I have to ink it up with my spots as I don't have markers. Despite the fussiness of the inking up, the final image always brings a smile to my face as it has such a wonderful feel and flow to it.I used my scalloped square nesties for the rectangle. Just punched out two squares and joined them together to make a rectangle. Hoping a lacy rectangle is in the works for a future release as I would snap that one up in an instant. A bit of ruffled ribbon, my Swiss Dots crutch, and some butterflies to balance off the saffron and I was good to go :)
The rest of the Design Team has some great inspiration to get you going on this week's sketch.

Beautiful....those tiny butterflies are the perfect size for this branch!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a timeless set...one I'll always keep! Love the springtime feel to your version!
ReplyDeleteI love the Thoughts and Prayers set. I love it every time I see it used, by anyone. The one thing that's always held me off from purchasing it is the coloring. I don't have more than a couple stamin' write markers to color the rubber with. So frustrating! But I don't want to buy a whole bunch of markers just to color the stamp. Am I just being stubborn?! lol
ReplyDeleteThe lacy green rectangle nestie looks so perfect on this card. It adds to the whole softness of the card. Gorgeously done, Marisa!
Beautiful (I feel like I keep using that word...oh yeah, because I AM....because I HAVE TO...because your card is BEAUTIFUL)...sorry, I digress...
ReplyDeleteI was just looking for a stamp like this to use; what a soothing look with those lovely flowers and darling butterflies! Colors are perfect, the ribbon treatment is divine and the lacy border is striking! Gorgeousness!!!
