Hope you all are ready for another fun Timeless Tuesday Challenge??? Today the super talented Kimberly Crawford is hosting this Challenge and she has created this beautiful Sketch for us!!!
If you own a Flourishes Set *flaunt* it and if not, play along anyway. You all can enter to win a prize just by participating!!! More details and all the Samples can be viewed on 
the Flourishes Blog!!!!
the Flourishes Blog!!!! Here is my take on Kim's Sketch.
As you can tell I kept it very simple and focused on the centerpiece. I used the Flourishes Set *Thinking of You*.
The card base is White (PTI). Before I started with the main image I scored the top part in 1/4" intervals. Next I inked the floral image onto a Oval Nestie with Certainly Celery and Basic Black. It was then layered onto a Scalloped Oval Nestie using Certainly Celery CS. The matching Twill Ribbon is from the *Ribbon Bundle Duo* featured in the Sale-A-Bration Brochure. 
I decorated the centerpiece with some punched out Martha Stewart butterflies using Rose Red CS. At last I decorated the butterflies with some small Pearls (Michael's) and the Hat Pin (Michael's) using the Pearls from the Prettiest Kit.
Looking forward seeing your take on this fun Sketch!!! Please use *FTTC6* as your keyword on SCS.
Swing by my Flourishes friends - Becca Feeken, Betty Wright, Cindy Haffner, Dee Jackson and Kimberly Crawford to see their cards close up.
**************************************************
Here is my card I made for the CC209 - Rose Red, Always Artichoke and Basic Black. I think it's another awesome round of colors!!!
I used Jen del Muro's SFYTT Sketch. Isn't it a great one??? The Stamp Set is *Bloomin' Beautiful*. The Rose was inked in Memento Black and colored with a Prisma Marker (PM-150) and Copic Marker (G94). The senitment was inked in Basic Black. I added a Brad from the Styled Silver Collection.
Just in case you can't tell I scored the Rose Red CS in 1/4" intervals to add a little bit of interest to the layout. If you like click on the photo for a close up.
Have a great day and thank you for stopping by!!!
