Sponged Poppies

Happy Saturday to you, my blog friends!  I hope you all had a marvelous week!  Are you ready for another fabulous sketch from The Sweet Stop?  Not only are you going to enjoy working with this sketch, but it is the third Saturday of the month which means it's a sketch with a spin, and that means...PRIZE TIME!  Get ready to create with punches and dies because that's what the spin is this month!

Creative Nugget:  I just love how my sample turned out this week...love the vintage look of this elegant stamp by Our Daily Bread Designs from the stamp set "Serve the Lord."  The best thing about this stamp set is that matching dies are available to go with it.   I began by stamping the poppy image on Neenah Solar White with Tuxedo Black Ink, coloring the image with Copic Markers, and sponging around the poppies with distress inks.  The image was cut out with the matching die.  The clean and Simple layers were made with Bo Bunny patterned paper, True Black and Rustic Cream card stock.  Stitching was added around the border of the second layer and on the crocheted Border Die.  The Fanciful Flourish Die was trimmed to fit around the image, and the sentiment from the Mini Tags 1 set was added.  A gingham bow and button finish the card!

This card will also be submitted for the Sponging Challenge at the ODBD Blog ~ ODBDSLC119
