Cuttlebug - Be Inspired No 20

ST837945

ValerieSalmon-sketch

Cuttlebug Challenge this week has a brilliant sketch by Valerie Salmon.

I really enjoyed this sketch - lots of distressing and inking, Papers are from Melissa Frances and All my Memories. I embossed down the side in reverse with my Cuttlebug edging strip then highlighted it with a bronze Sakura pen to make it look a little like stitching. The sentiment is embossed and inked.

Added some Tim Holtz sprockets and tags. Flowers are a mixture from my stash. There is also a rub-on at the bottom but you can hardly see it!! Grr!!

This card is gorgeous Dawn! I love the colour scheme! (Thanks for your comment! The card template came with a seperate sheet, one with a shape the same size as the card and another slightly smaller - I'd love to say I was really clever and drew it myself!) xx
