ODBDSLC #186 - Sketch

Happy Tuesday everyone!! The Our Daily Bread Designs Shining the Light Challenge is a sketch, join us here for the details.





For this gorgeous sketch I selected soft peach and natural cardstock with a stip of corregated cardstock to accent this lovely bird, which I heat embossed and watercolored with reinkers. I inked up the embossing folder with peach ink for more dimensiona and added accents of seam binding ribbon and peach pearls.

And I agree with Chris, the embossing folder is one of my favorites too! And I love your "signature" seam binding ribbon on so many of your cards! Great take on this week's sketch, sweet friend!
