Here is Melissa's sketch
Card Stock - GKD Pure Luxury Ivory, Creme de Menthe and Green Apple.
Stamp Set - "Hope Grows" by Theresa Momber
Inks - For the background on the tile Brilliance "Pearlescent Ivy" and "Pearlescent Lime". For the butterfly Tim Holtz Distress Inks "Peeled Paint", "Dried Marigold", "Victorian Velvet" and a touch of "Mustard Seed".
Techniques - Emboss Resist and Delft Tile
Other - MS punch, wrinkled seam binding, embellishment from stash and Liquid Pearls "White Opal" by Ranger.
The background is a new technique I wanted to try called "Delft Tile" and you can find the tutorial for it over at SCS. As you can see, not only did I switch the sketch, I took even more artistic license and switched the blue color that you would expect to see in a Delft Tile to green. (my apologies to my Dutch friends)
Thank you for stopping by - don't forget to leave a comment and you might win one of Gina's fabulous stamp sets. Now, please hop on over to Deb's blog, she's always got something fabulous to show us.
Have a great weekend,
Cheri
