Poppy Sketches #1-Make a Wish

Today is the very first sketch at the brand new Poppy Sketches challenge blog!  I'm so excited to be a part of the talented team Laura has assembled and I'm looking forward to sharing cards based on her sketches. For a fun twist, each sketch will also include a pop of color palette.  This week the team is being sponsored by Starving Artistamps. 

Here's my card for the sketch, using the well image from the Exterior Elements set.  I colored the well with Copic markers and fussy cut it.  For the background, I set a piece of rose colored patterned paper on a pale pink card base.  I covered the bottom of the patterned paper panel with a strip of pale pink paper, then added a tangerine open scalloped strip on top.  A piece of rose grosgrain ribbon hides the seams between the different pieces and adds a little texture, too.  I stamped the "make a wish" sentiment from an older Starving Artistamps set next to the well directly on the patterned paper using gray ink.  I topped the card with a pair of banner strips and a rose button, tied with pale pink baker's twine.

Be sure to check out what the rest of the Poppy Sketches team has created using the sketch and colors along with stamps from Starving Artistamps.   Here's where to find them:
