Hello, friend!

Papertrey Ink is having another contest today.  Today's contest is to pick from 5 sketches and create a project based on it.  Of course we must use at least one Papertrey product.  I picked Sketch #1:

I wanted to use black, white and red as the colors for my card.  I used white for the card base and topped it with a layer of Pure Poppy and a layer of Black & White Basics pattern paper.  I used Tag #5 as a template to cut the tag so it would be long enough on the card.

I stamped the flower from In Bloom in red ink, adding a bit of black to the center and outlined it with a light gray to enhance it just a bit.  I matted the flower on layers of True Black and Pure Poppy and adhered it on foam dots for a little dimension.  My final steps were stamping the sentiment from Flower Fusion #11 and adding the Pure Poppy buttons, threaded with black and white twine and tied into a bow.
