Sketch Challenge Week With Natural Botanicals!

It’s Thursday Challenge time at Create With Stamping Friends and this week we have a Color Challenge to play with. I love all three of these colors. They are some of my favorites!

I used the Natural Botanicals stamp set for my images and added a sentiment from the Grow With Love stamp set:

You’ll notice a shiny layer on my flowers in the close-up photo below. I colored the flowers with my Fine Tip Glue Pen. It dries rock hard and is not sticky at all once dried. If you’ve been with Stampin’ Up! for a long time, this glue resembles the Crystal Effects we used to carry.
