Flourishes Timeless Tuesday, colourQ, JUGs Sketch

I've had my eye on the Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge for a little while now, but haven't been able to join in as I didn't have any Flourishes stamps. Last week, I finally got my hands on a set, from Make The Day Special, and today I inked up the main image from this set. For colour inspiration I've used this weeks colour palette from colourQ, and for sketchy inspiration I have used the sketch from Just Us Girls.






And here's my take:




The set I have used is Gerbera Daisies, and I coloured this image using Promarkers and Flexmarkers. I cut the image using the out of the box technique and large circle nesties.


I stiched some beautiful damask patterned yellow paper from Webster's Pages onto some brown Bazill, then cut a green swiss dot embossed card for the centre panel.

I then cut two borders in brown bazill using a PTI die, and layered the image onto a larger brown patterned piece of Webster's Pages paper.



I assembled all together, and added some yellow gingham and button twine for some rustic charm - nothing say Country comfort to me more than a bit of gingham!

Finally added some Tiny Tags and some orange and yellow gems.

I am entering this into the following challenges:

The Gerber Daisies are one of my favorite stamps sets by Flourishes. I actually pulled it out this weekend to use. Terrific LO and colored selection too.

These gerbera daisies are looking real; you did a fabulous job coloring this stamp. And it's great to see how every item goes so well with the others. This card is perfect and gorgeous in every detail. (Love the PTI border dies :)...)
