Big n Bold!

Quite a simple sketch this week on 2 Sketches 4 u:

I've used more papers from Funky Daze - this time I've used the Fun Daze collection (be warned - its bright and bouncy!) I've doodled on the edges of the papers and added the broad grosgrain ribbon. The paper pattern actually showed through so I cut a piece of white paper for the ribbon to sit on.

The sentiment tile was a freebie from a magazine a while ago, and the flower was one of those impulse purchases when at the checkout and presented with a fantastic bargain, never to be repeated, which just cries to be picked up and purchased! The flower was actually attached to a stem which I removed but left quite a long bit which was a tad tricky to attach to the card but I managed it in the end (a brad poked through the reverse of the card into the hole of the stem and copious amounts of glue to hold it all in place!)
  • Backing paper: Funky Daze from Funky Hand
  • Sentiment: From my stash (originally a freebie from a magazine)
  • Ribbon: From my stash
  • Flower: From my stash
