Freshly Made Sketches # 151

I struggle with the clean and simple style.  I tend to use lots of paper and ink and usually have very inky fingers at the end of some stampin' time. But it is something I think looks amazing and I like to push myself to work in other styles.  I really like this week's sketch from Freshly Made Sketches.

I just love the All Abloom paper stack, so I knew I wanted to use that.  Here is my take on the sketch:

Try Stampin' on Tuesday #182

I was looking for a little inspiration and found just what I needed at Try Stampin' on Tuesday.  Here is this week's sketch:

Although the sketch seems to suggest using a watercolor technique, I was itching to use up some scrap Designer Series Paper.  I thought I could almost make a rainbow, so I decided to use the Sweet Taffy DSP. 

The ribbon I used was the Rich Razzleberry stitched ribbon from last year, but the cotton ribbon in the following supply list would work perfectly.
