Sketch Saturday: All the Flowers of Tomorrow..

Hi, hope everyone is having a great weekend. Today I have something new! This is my card for Sketch Saturday. week 92, and it's the first challenge that I have attempted.
I have used a new stamp from Mo Manning, and coloured the image with Promarkers. All new to me, but I am pleased with the outcome! Not sure about the grass though....

I love this little girl, she reminds me of my eldest daughter, dreamy and free spirited, well that's how she appears to me!
All the patterned paper is from a stack I bought last week, from a company called Wild Rose Studio. I have used the doily design a rose bud design, and a pink striped design from this pack, which also contains some great cake and teapot themes too. They also design some lovely clear stamps, and I bought one of those too, will make a card with it in the next few days.

Lots of layering on this card, but I think it works. The sentiment is one from the Earthangel set by WMS, " All the flowers of tomorrow are in the seeds of today" ; I just thought it matched the image and roses perfectly.

Inside I have used a couple of strips of paper which I've used on the front, but got kind of obscured; it's so pretty I had to use some more! Edged them with Martha Stewart lace doily punch. Sentiment inside the card is from Earthangel again, with the little 'xo' underneath from Say it With Style stamp set from WMS.

As I like a bit of bling, I gave her a little sparkly rhinestone necklace, and used a couple of gems on the bees. Added some pink stickles to the roses, and finally used some more pink rhinestones on the sentiment.

Thanks for looking, and have a great Sunday
Pauline xx
