The Framed Florets Bundle

Today’s Sunday Sketch features the Framed Florets Bundle. Yesterday I was telling you just how wonderful this collection is to stamp with. So I thought why stop with our Border Buddy card.

Each Sunday I create a card using one of my card sketches and share it with you. You can create a card exactly using the sketch layout or change it up a bit. You can see by the sketch and card it is an exact match. There are no “rules” for using a sketch it is only to get your mojo going.

The Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper that was designed to go with the bundle is not your only option. I am sure you have some beautiful floral designer paper that would go beautifully with the set. For my card today I used the Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper and think it turned out well.

My favorite coloring option is Stampin’ Blends they are so easy to work with. Stampin’ Blends are alcohol markers that help you create highlights and shadows for easy coloring. They are sold in combo packs of two high-quality alcohol markers. And have a dark shade and a light shade. Each blend is dual tipped with a brush tip and fine tip. If you haven’t tried them you will want to give them a try.
