The Gentleman Crafter - Card Sketch Challenge #1

 I recently received an email from The Gentleman Crafter telling me about a new Sketch Challenge he is running.  He has started a new Facebook page where you add your project (Here)  And here is his first challenge and sketch.  You can download a detailed sketch.  


I changed the size to 4.25" x 5.5" (John's card was 4" x 6")  

I trimmed my panels at 7/8" and matted with cream card stock which made their finished size 1".  My circle is 1.78".  I stamped the sentiment from a Gina K set (It's All You Mini) before cutting it out with the circle die (from a Gina K Master Layouts set)  I cut some dark green leaves from a Sizzix Thinlets set.  For my flowers I used some from Rosies Studio.  I layered two flowers together and added a pearl centre.   John used some pins on his card.  I like how they looked but don't have any so improvised by cutting a sliver of gold card and added a pink pearl on the top. 

I can see myself utilising this sketch again.  

Another stunning day here in Auckland.   I went and had my booster shot today and of course, a swim this afternoon.  The days of the holiday are coming to end.  Back to work on Monday.  I feel that it will be a work from home day, though!
