For the last blog hop of the year for the Ink & Inspiration team, we had a sketch challenge. This is the sketch we were given:

A card sketch with a rectangle and a smaller circle

I have kept my card very true to the sketch, using the rectangle and circle, although I have added an extra mat under my circle.

I have used Pretty Peacock for the card base, then added a layer of Basic White under one of the papers from the Floral Charm 12×12 Designer Series Paper pack.

The rectangle has been cut using a die from the Textured Notes dies from Basic White cardstock. A circle has been cut from Petunia Pop cardstock using a die from the Spotlight on Nature die set. This was layered behind a Basic White circle cut using the Stylish Shapes dies. I have stamped the greeting using a stamp from the Cheers & Sips stamp set, using Petunia Pop ink,

The rose has been die cut using a die from the Charming Day bundle (now on the last chance list) from Petunia Pop cardstock. I trimmed the flower from the stem and then added extra Petunia Pop ink using a sponge dauber. The die was then cut from Pretty Peacock cardstock and the flower adhered over the top. This was then adhered to the card using Mini Dimensionals.

To finish, I added three Petunia Pop embellishments from the 2024-2026 In Color Flat Pearls.
