Card Art by Helen

Here's this month's sketch:

And here's the project it inspired:

Say "hello" to a friend with this bright card featuring artistic loose watercolour floral stamped elements.

Two round flowers from the Artistically Inked Cling Stamp Set were stamped on Basic White Cardstock using Berry Burst Classic Ink, and one double leaf element was stamped on Basic White in Shaded Spruce. The stamped elements were cut out using the coordinating Artistic Dies. The "hello" sentiment from the same stamp set was stamped in Berry Burst to the left hand side of a Basic White circle cut using the 2⅜" Circle Punch. One of the stamped flower elements was adhered directly to the lower right hand side of the circle. The leaf element was attached to the back of the other flower, and the two combined then layered over the other flower using Stampin' Dimensionals.

Three horizontal strips of Smoky Slate cardstock were added to a Berry Burst Cardstock portrait layer, and the circle focal element attached centrally over the strips using Stampin' Dimensionals. The whole panel was then adhered to a Basic White Cardstock base.
