Freshly Made Sketches #703

I don't have my dome dies with me so I had to get creative with my card for Freshly Made Sketches.  Karren said we don't have to use an arch frame so I went with an oval.  


It's the Stylish Ovals from Spellbinders and I used two to make a frame from dark brown, then layered it on SB Acorn cardstock that was embossed with Altenew's Organic Linen.  The flowers are SSS Icelandic Poppy die cuts that Bonnie sent me in my birthday card. She knows how much I love those dies.  Thanks again, Bonnie. They are colored with Altenew Pastel Sunrise and Canyon Clay ink.  I also inked a scrap and stamped the Hero Arts sentiment in dark brown. 

I'm so glad you dropped by.  I love your visits and your comments.

You gave these poppies a perfect home, Bobby! I love this shade of peachy pink and how they look against the organic acorn brown!
