OWH Sunday Sketch

For this weeks OWH Sunday Sketch I decided to go with bright happy colors to offset the cold and snow we got over the last few days here in Iowa.  Up til now winter has been FABULOUS - sunny and temps in the 50s.  Not "Midwest winter" at all.  Now winter has arrived, but I am fighting back with some bright flowers...

I used my Book Print  Impression plate that I actually had forgotten about.  I love the randomness to the letter placement.  I also used my Take Three die.  It perfectly cut those squares (I was very happy when I measured them and they were exactly what the sketch called for.  And lastly I used my Background Basics: Newsprint.  The column stamp fit perfectly within the cut squares.  Easy peasy!

The flowers, leaves and sentiment are from Flower Fusion 6 & 7.  I did a little selective inking to turn the single line sentiment that was too long into a 2 line sentiment that fit perfectly.

Colors are [SU!] Calypso Coral and Lucky Limeade - both from the In Colors 2012
I also used Basic Gray and Black ink on the text.

Thanks for stopping!
