Here's our sketch for you this week at Hand Stamped Sentiments. I loved playing with this one. I turned it round to suit my card. I started off by using an Aallandcreate Stencil for my background stripes using Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Antique Linen and going over it to make it slightly darker for the stripes.
I've used some of Tracy Evan's stamps here again - the little watering can is from #437 and is called Watering Can lol! I stamped it with Versafine Clair in Shady Lane and coloured it with Tim Holtz Victorian Velvet - one of my favourite pink colours. The flower is from another of her sets called Worded Petals #567. I cut this one out - fussy cutting is not my forte lol - and coloured it with the same ink.
I stamped the little Fig.1 onto an old lolly stick and added it with dimensionals and added a touch of black twine behind the flower.
I am excited to tell you that I actually entered this card into our local summer show where they had a Greetings Card section and it won first prize. That's the first time I've ever entered a competition and I was really proud! As I live in Wales you can see that the certificate is bi-lingual in English and Welsh.
