Hello...Everyone, today is a sad post for me since this will be my first time stepping down on a design team
CAS(E) this sketch and Runway Inspired Challenge.
I just want to say THANK YOU to Chrissy and Jennifer, for they have given me a chance to grow
and learn lots with these challenges and I am very grateful :)

and learn lots with these challenges and I am very grateful :)
For these combined challenge...I really love how this turned out.
I hope that you will enjoy the sketch *-* wink..wink.
For my take, first I created a card base and heat embossed the new Wplus9 release Borders & Backgrounds 4 with white embossing powder on a black cardstock as a panel.
Then I created my own flower image using refill inks (papertrey ink & distress ink). After creating my own image on a watercolor paper. I simply fussy cut the flower and leaves image....though a lot of cutting, but its all worth it.
As for the sentiments I also used the new Wplus9 April release Hand Lettered Hello. Then for the final touch I did use some distress ink splatter after I dilute it with plenty of water.
Here's the full card.
WOW Joni this is truly stunning.
