Serenity Thoughts

                  Happy Tuesday with a new challenge at

                       Try A Sketch On Tuesday


Today I'm using some pretty papers from a long-ago CTMH collection featuring the colors Twilight and Sorbet.  My Neutral color is Vanilla. Stitched circle die cuts, a die cut floral image from Altenew, and a very old sentiment from an Avery Elle set, Hugs. I used Altenew's Organic Linen folder to emboss the Vanilla panel. Large and small flowered circles were popped up.



I did try to follow the 3-2-1 recipe at our sister challenge at Double Trouble with some foam tape and embossing twists, but not sure my die-cut floral really counts as an image.  But you can certainly check them out and play along!

Poppy

 

Good morning!  

My inspiration for the new challenge at                                                Try A Sketch On Tuesday   The challenge runs from August18-30th.

I used two poppy dies that have been in my stash for many years, and I haven't used them in a long time. The Large Iceland poppy is a layered die from poppystamps.com circa 2015, and I used the stem from Memory Box's Darling Poppies circa 2014 :-)  I popped up the bloom for added dimension. 

Papers from my black and white stash bag. Sentiment from Gina K Designs Elegant Thoughts, and another inside from All About You.



AND please check out our sister challenge at Double Trouble. I followed their 3-2-1 challenge and did some layering and popped up element, too.  

Hope to see you linked up!
