CQC #88 COLOURS MEET JAC-INKS #10 SKETCH

I was a bit excited when I saw this week's Jac-Inks challenge, as I've just bought Spellbinders Ribbon Banners; perfect!  Here's the sketch:



I simply couldn't pass by the Colour Q challenge, either; these scrumptious colours are just right up my alley:




The splotchy flowers immediately inspired me to use Friends Never Fade.  I inked the flower using a stampin' pad first, then coloured the flower centres with markers. 





Stamps: Friends Never Fade, Thanks for Caring, Friendly Words jumbo Stampin' Around wheel
Card: Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler textured, Early Espresso, Soft Suede
Ink: Versamark inkpad, Soft Suede stampin' pad and marker, Cherry Cobbler stampin' pad and marker, Crumb Cake stampin' pad, Early Espresso stampin' pad and marker
Other: Circles #2 die, Square Lattice embossing folder, Itty Bitty Shapes flower punch, Basic Pearls, sponge daubers, Nestabilities circle die, Spellbinders Ribbon Banner die

    Love this card, I really like this colour combo, would never have thought to put them together ( a bit on the dark side for me)but they look great.I thought the centre piece was DSP until I read that you had stamped it, wow!The ribbon banner is a wonderful addition, love the sponging on it.
