Sketch Stampin' Fancy Friday

Here's my take on the sketch challenge for the month of February for the Stampin' Fancy Friday Team and everybody who would like to join along. I enjoy sketches as they map out layers to be stamped and arranged in ways I might not typically think.

You can see from the hand-drawn sketch below how closely I stuck to the layout.  Sometimes I have been know to stray from sketches, but not this time.

I cut lots of flowers from the Floral Squares Dies to create a floral backdrop for my focal VW Bus and greeting.  The colors of the flowers are Petal Pink, Calypso Coral and Soft Seafoam.  I adhered them to a piece of Daffodil Afternoon DSP.  I covered the entire card front with another pattern of paper from the Daffodil Afternoon pack.

I stamped the VW Bus on a scrap of Very Vanilla with Memento Black Ink and colored it with Soft Seafoam, Grey Granite, and Calypso Coral Stampin' Blends.  I grabbed my paper snips to do a pretty quick cut out of the bus.  The balloons were a bit trickier to cut because they were so small.  I do think it was worth the effort.
