It's time for a brand new sketch from The Sweet Stop, SSS167:
I didn't do a lot of changes to the sketch this time... only turned it up-side-down, and came up with this pretty:
Recipe: Rosie Posie, Heart-2-Heart #4, and Background Basics: Postmark clear stamp sets (Papertrey Ink)... Rosie Posie die set (PTI), Circle die (Spellbinders), Victoria embossing folder (Cuttlebug)... Copic Markers... Daffodil Delight, Crumb Cake, Real Red ink pads and Crumb Cake and Real Red card stock (SU!)... Sponge Dauber, Brayer... pearls, baker's twine...
The background technique came from PTI's Make It Monday #74: Stamping on Texture. I only have one texture impression plate from PTI, so I had to use one from Cuttlebug. It's super easy and looks great! I will have try this again... Colors came from CR84FN58:
Make sure you check out what the rest of the Sugar Babies came up with: Cathy McCauley, Chrissy Dickinson (out this week), Janice Melton, Korin Sutherland (out this week), Shannon White, Shelby Goolsby, and Wendy Ramlakhan (out this week).
What a beautiful card! I love how you embossed and stamped the background and the lovely flowers! Just gorgeous!

You never forget a detail. Always another layer of something - embossing folder, inking, little pearlies. Something something everywhere and never overdone. Another beauty, Miss Monika!
