Sketched Marina Flower...

Hello!

I wanted to play along with this week's 200th Colour Q challenge so I combined it with the fab Deconstructed Sketch this week...

 

I wanted to use the beautiful hostess set Simply Sketched for this as well as my new Dictionary backgrounds stamp (love!)...

 
I stamped the flower image onto watercolour paper with Stazon and coloured with Old Olive, Marina Mist and Midnight Muse inks and an aquapainter. I stamped an additional flower, coloured and cut out then popped over the top for added dimension. The sentiment (from the same set) was stamped underneath with Stazon as well. The So Saffron panel is core'dinations card, embossed with the Beautifully Baroque EF and sanded. The Marina Mist panels in the background were stamped with the Dictionary background with Marina Mist ink, and all the panels were layered onto Midnight Muse card. I added a Midnight Muse heart (cut from core-dinations card with the Fashionable Hearts embosslit die) and some retired Old Olive ribbon as well as a vintage faceted button with some white bakers twine. I couldn't resist adding a few candy dots (LOVE these things!) in white to finish off.
 
I hope you've enjoyed your weekend, wherever you are!
 
Thanks for stopping by...
