Woodware - Sketch Challenge

Time for our next Sketch challenge over at Woodware this week. I am last up this time and there have been some lovely samples this week, with a few glimpses of some of the new stamps just launched. So be sure to take a peek!!
So this is the sketch : 




For my offering I have turned the sketch 90 degrees. I have chosen the lovely Stampendous stamp "Springtime in Paris". I have stamped it simply in a dark brown ink and added gold to the flowers from one of my USArtQuest Mica Palettes. 

The frame behind the images was made with Frantage powders Shabby White and Aged Gold. 
The stamped border at the top is from a clear Stampendous set called Damask chair. It is such a lovely intricate border that always adds a touch of elegance. 

 

The background was made using the Stampendous music score stamp and my favourite technique of spritzing water onto a stamp and lifting off to remove ink. 

My flower was several layers of parchment daisies. I stamped and embossed with a detail gold powder before punching out with a large daisy punch. 
To keep with the French theme, my text paper was torn out of my old French Dictionary. I was always useless at French at school but at least I have found great uses for my French Dictionary!! 
Remember, if you enter our sketch challenge you are in with a chance of winning a Woodware voucher to spend at your nearest stockist.
Have a good weekend. I believe we may get more snow on Sunday!! So winter is not over just yet.
