Create With Stamping Friends Challenge 905

Sketch Challenge Week With Beautifully Celebrated!

It’s Thursday Challenge time at Create With Stamping Friends and it’s also Sketch Challenge week with this sketch:

This was a fun sketch and it was neat to add stamped flowers & branches at the top of my designer paper layer with VersaMark Ink. I sprinkled white embossing powder and then used my Heat Tool to melt the powder. The white embossing is striking against the peacock color:

I added two different patterns from the Nature Walk Designer Paper and on my top layer, I added some direct to paper stamping and used White Embossing Powder on the images.
