Secrets

When I was trying to translate my thoughts into the design of this card, I wasn't feeling it, from the color combo and trying to find just the right papers to figuring out what to do with what looked like a void in that corner with the bow where the ribbons meet.  I found these "3D Flowers" by Lori Whitlock in the Silhouette Cameo store so I bought up all the 3D flowers I could find, yeah, I get a little obsessed in the moment.

I'll admit I was a little intimidated at the number of pieces I needed to come up with the pink one (it's actually 10 parts) but I'm glad I gave it some love with my McGill Blossoms tools.  

I'm all fluttery about the colors and the sketch now... 


Here is Carole's wonderfully inspiring Sketch from Sunday Sketch and Stamp #153:
