Good Morning! It's Tuesday week #9 of the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge! This weeks sketch is a REALLY fun one. It's hard to tell the sketch from my creation so be sure to hop over there and see the Sketch Layout and Design Team Ideas for yourself! I know you will get inspired to play with us!!
I used Hickory Wood Paper - Pre-cut Strips for the frame behind the Sunflowers. The Sunflowers are my Sunflower Digi's that I have printed out in several different sizes...just like how God makes them! I have used the Birch Wood Paper - Pre-cut Strips to make the window flower box. I used some Spanish moss as filler and 100% All Natural Grape Vine Twists. Also, you may not have noticed, but I printed the sunflowers on the background paper too. Started with a glossy sheet of cardstock. Stop back tomorrow for a little tutorial on how I made the background!
I cut the top of the sunflower out so it would be in front of the window frame. I also used the Paper Tole Technique on the sunflowers. I used a pencil eraser on the backside of the brown flower center to make it round.
All the flower stems, Spanish moss and grape vine twists are all stuck in the flower box. Snug as a bug! ;)

Your work just gets better and better all the time. I am so impressed with this card. I so love the wood, and you made those flowers look so real and so beautiful. I think that the grapevine is my favorite though. It really completes the card.
Congrats on your well-deserved award too. We are so lucky to have you on the team!! :)
