OK here's the card I made for the sketch - don't forget that if you participate in this week's sketch you'll be entered in to win a $20 Stamping Bella gift certificate! Details about that in the Friday Sketch! #53 post <------click!
I pulled out my daisybella stamp for my sample and stamped it onto CCD white cardstock and colored it in with my prismacolor pencils and gamsol.
After the image was colored I cut it out with one of my circle nesties dies.
I then decided I wanted to use this friends are flowers sentiment from my Friend Sentiments set with this bella.
This sentiment is straight - but since it's a narrower one (and I trimmed it pretty darn close!) and is on thin EZmount it is easy to curve it - so I was able to make it curve to fit the shape of the circle.
Normally doing something like this I would stamp the main image THEN stamp the sentiment (to make sure it all turned out right) then color it - just in case I screwed something up.
Since I had already colored in the bella I was REALLY careful stamping the sentiment so that I didn't mess it up - thankfully it turned out OK :o)
All the patterned paper is from the new Basic Grey Marrakech collection, as are all the brads.
The ribbon is May Arts, the Primas and felt flowers are from my stash.
On the inside of the card I stamped daisybella onto the base with Groovy Guava (retired from SU!) ink that I stamped off once, then I stamped another sentiment from my Friend Sentiments set at her feet.
I cut some more of the patterned papers that I used on the front and that was it!
