Welcome to Gina K's CSS Alumni Blog hop!
If you came by the way of Sue's fabulous blog, you are right on track. If you are just popping in to visit, I encourage you to start at the beginning of the hop here, to what this talented group of ladies has to share us tonight.
For this hop, we were to create a project using a sketch designed by our very own Melissa Cash.
Here is the sketch -
and this is what I came up with using the sketch.
I was a bit of a rebel and decided to flip the sketch and have my focal panel a bit slanted ;-)
The sunflowers are from the Autumn Beauty Stamp set. I colored them with copics, YG01, YG23, YG25, YG71/E33, E39/Y32, Y35, YR12, YR21, YR24. For the three strips I used an open oval border die to cut the borders in matching pattern papers and threaded ribbon through them.
The pattern paper is from My Minds Eye - Lost & Found Two - Sunshine pack.
Make sure to leave a comment on each blog as you hop along because on Tuesday morning (November 1), we will randomly choose one of the comments from all the blogs who will get a stamp set of their choice valued up to $24.95!
Your next hop stop is to the super talented Miesje.
