Get Sketchy…. and WIN with Flourishes

  Flourishes is at again with four new releases for July. With this sketch here is my take. I used blue metallic paper for the base, added a piece red paper from Stampin'Up Nautical Expedition DSP. I put three antique brads from Stampin'Up as shown.I then layered another piece of blue paper with knots on it and adhered it to the red. I then took a piece of shimmery white paper and stamped the bold image from Cherry Blossom by Flourishes using Corn Flower and Hot Red Vivid inks by Clearsnap sometimes using 2 or 3 values of the ink. Then I took a Square Lattice Embossing Folder by Stampin'Up and ran it thru the Big Shot. I inked the edges by using Cornflower and then using Inky Blue with a touch of red. I cut out an oval using Spellbinders 'Lacey Oval' using red glitter paper. I cut out another oval using Spellbinders Classic Oval large using a piece of Shimmery White paper.
Then I stamped using another image from the same set using black Memento ink and coloring using Sakura Gelly Roll pens. I used blue and red metallic pens then using a watercoloring technique blended the two colors together.I cut out ribbon tails using  metallic blue paper from Fibermark from my stash.
