A Little Scoring .....

This is my very late entry into Colour Q and CAS(E) this Sketch this week.....and as I am very quickly running out of time, please excuse the very poor and yellow quality of these photos. :-(

As you can see, I've changed the orientation of the photo and used the diagonal plate on my Simply Scored tool to create the cross hatching in the background.  To make the flower, I punched out the shape, then ran each flower through my crimper several times, which helped to separate the fibres of the cardstock.  This then allowed me to split the cardstock, giving the rough textured side for the flowers   You can see this more clearly in the first photo.

Number of uses.....

 

This stunning floral bouquet is from the new stamp set "Number of Years".  Its actually a two step stamp, which means you stamp the greenery (though I've stamped it in Crumb Cake) first, and then add the flowers afterwards.  This is a great way of adding a variety of colour to 'single' stamped image....... Just one of the tricks of the trade ;-)

 

 

 

I based this sketch on one from Freshly Made Sketches, but unfortunately, I wasn't in time to enter it into the challenge....

 

 

And here's a close up of the cute little bow.....just beacuase ...
