PPA2: Sketch Challenge!

I was going for more of a fall look for my card. The photo doesn't do the pheasant justice- after stamping I embossed it with Iridescent Ice.

Here are all the specifics:

• This Old Olive card base measures 5.5"x 4.25".
• Bravo Burgundy came next. In keeping with the sketch, I used my Scallop Edge punch at the bottom.
• Another layer of Crushed Curry Pattern DSP was also scallop punched.
• Whisper White taffeta ribbon turned Old Olive with the help of an SU Marker. TIP: Be sure to give it plenty of time to dry before using!
• The sentiment, from Garden Greetings, was inked up in Old Olive and stamped onto the print.
• The wheat image from Autumn Days was dipped in Crushed Curry and stamped repeatedly on one side of Whisper White. TIP: For more dimension, do not re-ink between stamping.
• The pheasant was stamped next using Bravo Burgundy. I used a Versamark pen directly onto the pheasant and heat embossed it using Iridescent Ice.
• Three Fire Circle Rhinestone brads dress up the corner. TIP: a paper piercing tool and the mat pack template made placement super easy.
• To keep the pheasant from looking like it was floating, I dipped a blender pen into the Bravo Burgundy ink to create the ground :).

I hope you will play along this week!
