OWH Sketch Challenge #209

Here is my entry for sketch #209 over at OWH.  I found this to be a great sketch and will be using this quite often in the future.


The flower and sentiment are both from a Gina K Designs set titled Stampers Favorites and the Dragon Fly is also from a Gina K Stamp set titled Vertical Greetings.  These are both beautiful sets that I just bought in the beginning of January and could not wait to ink them up.   I colored the flower and dragon fly with Copics.  The paper is from a retired SU! 6 x 6 pack.  I colored around the edges of a piece of white paper and also a small square piece of white paper with a B-4 Copic Marker so the edges and the banners would  match the flower and dragon fly.  I used the square punch to make the tails of my banners.  I punched out two strips of chevrons and placed them together to get my vertical strip.  I used some silver ( they photographed  as white) metallic stickers that I found at JoAnns as my embellishments on the bottom.  Because that are completely flat I thought they might travel better than gems.  That will do it for me tonight.  It's been a busy day and I'm shot.  See you again during the week.  Thanks a bunch for paying me a visit.

  2. Love how you used the white space in the panel-nice contrast with your patterned paper. :) The zigzag on the vertical element adds great interest, too!!!
