Hi there once again!  My card today is for the sketch at retro sketches.

http://retrosketches.blogspot.com/

I stuck to the sketch pretty literally, because I loved the stems popping up from the cross piece.

The stems from Simply Sketched were inked up in Versamark, then Early Espresso and stamped on watercolor paper.  I colored them with a blender pen and then fussy cut them with my paper snips.

I couldn't decide what to color the fruit, so I colored one with Crisp Cantaloupe and the other with Summer Starfruit, but neither by itself looked right.  So I ended up mixing them together for a warm peachy color.

The paper in the background is from Soho Subway.  The mix of Summer Starfruit and Island Indigo in parts of the paper results in a green that matches nicely to Garden Green, which is what was used to color the stems.

The sentiment was stamped on a piece of Confetti cream cut out with a tag sizzlit and popped up on dimensionals. 

Thanks for taking a look and I hope you have a great week ahead of you!

Hugs,

Stef
