PageMaps!

Do you ever crave inspiration and look to sketches for help?  Some of the ladies from the Flourishes Design Teams and Becky Fleck of PageMaps are teaming up to give you some inspiration! Becky always has the best sketches! Every time I am in a rut with my cards, I pull out one of her sketches and it always gets my creative juices going!

For more info on the cards and sketches you can visit the PageMaps website here: PageMaps



 Here is the sketch that Becky sent to use for my inspiration.

I love this sketch and I had many ideas, but I decided to create a card with a large stamped area, like a picture window. I made my card into a 5x7 size so I could fit my multiple stamped images in to create my scene.

I chose to use Flourishes "Field of Poppies" that I masked off and stamped multiple images of it onto Flourishes Classic White cardstock. I colored the flowers in with Copic markers then dry embossed a line around the whole image. I sponged in some clouds with "Tumbled Glass" Distress Ink, then I framed the whole card with Color Made Easy "Poppy" cardstock. Flourishes "Basque Red" ribbon from Color Made Easy was added with a sentiment from "Tiny Flowers and Tags" on the Tailor-Made Classic Tags die. Under the Basque Red ribbon is one of the Flourishes new "Perfectly Pierced Window Die" that I placed "Ivory Scalloped Guipure" lace under with a Zva "Corner Rhinestones" on top of it.
Here are the Copic Collections that I used to color the poppies:
