This week at Isabella's Challenge we have been asked to follow a sketch and here is my project. I was having trouble with camera so it may be a little difficult to see that the wide ribbon is a very dark brown. While I love this colour combination, I must admit that I really wanted to see what brown pearls on the pink scalloped oval to provide a bit of contrast would look like, but I couldn't find any in the only local craft store I have and there wasn't time to order them from an online store. If you think they would have added something to the design, close your eyes and pretend they are there and then let me know what you think.
The image from Isabella's Sketchbook is called Sweetheart Flower and has been coloured with a combination of Prismacolor and Koh-I-Noor pencil crayons. The paper is from my stash and the card stock is Recollections (Michaels). Other supplies used: Chalk (Mungyo), Ribbons (Fabricland), Pearl Stickers (Recollections), Pearl Brads (Gartner), Nestabilities (Spellbinder) and Border Punch (Martha Stewart).
Totally yummy sweetness, Cec. Love your paper lace with the ribbon embellies, the tiny bows and the offsetting pearls. Terrific job on the challenge!
