Beautifully Baroque

Good morning everyone! Welcome to another Hand Stamped Sentiments Tuesday challenge! We’ve got a great sketch for you this week!

I actually played around with this sketch several times this past weekend. I love the doily part… I thought of so many options for that.

Beautifully Baroque is one of those stamps that has collected dust on my shelf. Not because I didn’t like it, but because I just never got around to using it. But, this week I did! And I know you’re thinking, is that card from that sketch? Yes, yes, it is… My ideas just kept bouncing around and it ended up like this. The rectangle became an oval, the doily moved higher and higher and the banners turned in the pennants… just in a totally different spot! LOL! But, that’s the fun of a sketch. It’s a starting point! You don’t have to stick to it exactly. Although, sometimes I do stick to it exactly…

I also used the Beautifully Baroque Embossing folder, which is obviously a perfect companion to the stamp. The feathers are from the Fine Feathers stamp set.

Make sure you hop over to HSS and see what the other ladies have come up with. I hope you can also find inspiration from our sketch and link up with us as well!

My colors were inspired by the pallet at Color Me this week.
