Wohooo!! Guest Designing for STAMPlorations...

I am just getting lucky, I got another amazing opportunity to Guest Design for a Fab Company STAMPlorations. Previously I won a bi-weekly sketch challenge at STAMPlorations #5 and therefore was invited to Guest design. I am so excited :) there stamps are fab and so is the Design Team. Hope you will join the fun there :)
This time its another sketch Challenge and here's how I interpreted it.

To make this card, I heat embossed (using Whisper opaque embossing powder n Versamark ink) the flowers (from Inkadinkadoo BG flowers cling set) on white card stock and fuzzy cut them. then I lightly inked them in green. Next on card base, I did some sponging with a stencil (I bought from Walmart) stamped the floral stems (using Recollections jar set) and stamped n fuzzy cut the leaves (from Hampton art - Fern wood mounted stamp). I added some anthers on the flowers and adhered all the elements on the Card base. Embellished with pearls and stamped the sentiment (from Martha Stewart set).
 

Hope you like my card. I would like to thank Shery and the entire team of STAMPlorations for giving this opportunity to me. Please head over to the challenge blog for more Inspiration and challenge details :)

Thank you for stopping by and leaving me a comment :)

    Deepti, I simply adore your card! It is such an artistic interpretation of the sketch. Awesome fussy cutting of the flowers and leaves -- I thought they were die-cut at first glance! I'm loving the stenciled background...it makes me think of a trellis: the perfect anchor for the leaves and flowers. Thank you so much for guest designing for us at STAMPlorations. We love having you, and I'm a big fan of your work!

    Hugs,
    Shery

You have the patience of a saint! I also love how you showcased the anthers on your flowers...it's such a beautiful detail! Such a lovely card!
