if friends were flowers...

Hey there!  I got some crafty time in and made a card for a few challenges:  Freshly Made Sketches, Altenew August inspiration challenge and Time Out (bright).  Initially I thought about making something with a sun, but them remembered how bright the colors are in the Altenew challenge so decided to go with that instead.  One of the colors in the inspiration challenge is orange... I don't have a lot of orange inks, but I did manage to find three that worked well for stamping out the flower from the Altenew Build A Flower Coral Charm stamp set.  I stamped the outline in SU! Pumpkin Pie and then the solid image from the set using Memento Tangelo using second generation stamping.  Then I added the detail images using Catherine Pooler Tiki Torch and the Memento Tangelo.  The leaves were stamped using green inks from Hero Arts, My Favorite Things and PaperTrey ink.  All the images were then die cut.   I die cut some white cardstock with a rectangle die and then stamped the little floral cluster images from the set using Memento Danube Blue ink.   I added score lines to the panel for the strip portion of the sketch and then layered on the die cut images.  Finished by stamping the sentiment from Peony Spray on vellum and embossing in black.  The sentiment was trimmed down and adhered with glue dot.

Hope you have a wonderful day!
