Gorgeous! AAA Cards #264 has a lovely sketch for us this round - yay! I have to confess right up front - it took me three tries to get this card to a place that made me happy, lol, and I almost never design that way either! I've always been a warts-and-all kind of blogger - when something doesn't quite go how I imagined, I tend to forge ahead anyway, and then call out some things I might have done differently on retrospect - because I want you to see that it's ALWAYS a process, and sometimes the process is bumpy! Not today, though... I first started with a white-on-white Stitched layer for the stamping, then tried the twiggy wreath in a couple browns. Sigh. Cutting down for a layer was too tight - it didn't look right! But first I tried it on a colored layer, in Fresh Freesia, still no good, sigh. So then I went for stamping straight onto the card base, and then, I stamped off two more times with the wreath to sort of soften it up a little. Then I was able to pop dot my flowers, and add the sentiment stamped on Freesia - whew! I did finish with a few Brass Dragonflies just because - maybe perhaps a little overboard for the AAA brief! But I made it, lol! Encircled in Nature Stamp Set; Basic White & Fresh Freesia CS; Early Espresso Ink; Granny apple Green, Daffodil Delight & Fresh Freesia Blends Markers; Brass Dragonflies; #AAA264.
