It's been a nice little break, but I'm excited to be back designing for As You See It Challenges again and the first challenge we have for everyone after our Christmas hiatus is a sketch challenge that we're called Framed! Here's the sketch for As You See It Challenge #191:
With the Occasions Catalogue up and running, and my cupboards full of new stamp sets to play with, I decided to go with one of the first suites that caught my eye, the Floral Romance Suite! The card I made is actually a birthday card for a dear friend and I wanted it to be special. I used the Wonderful Romance stamp set (in Cling format), with the coordinating Wonderful Floral Framelit Dies, and the Floral Romance Specialty Designer Series Paper. I used one other new stamp set for the sentiment and that is the Itty Bitty Birthdays Cling stamp set.
- On my Mossy Meadow card base I used a layer of the Floral Romance Specialty Designer Series Paper, in a wood grain pattern. I love that we still have that kind of design to use after losing my favourite Festive Farmhouse DSP from the Holiday Catalogue.
- The next two layers are another pattern from the Floral Romance Specialty Designer Series Paper backed by some Gold Foil Sheet. The gold looks so good with all the green.
- I stamped the image from the Wonderful Romance stamp set in Versamark ink on Shimmery White cardstock, covered it with the Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder and heat set it with the Heat Tool.
- I then used an Aqua Painter to watercolour the image with Mossy Meadow, Pear Pizzazz, and Petal Pink ink.
- The oval die cut behind the sentiment is from the Wonderful Floral Framelit Dies and a die cut out the watercoloured image as well. I stamped the sentiment from the Itty Bitty Birthdays Cling stamp set in Mossy Meadow and punched it out using the Pretty Label Punch and edged it with gold embossing as well.
- The last touch is a little bow from one of the Sale-A-Bration Rewards, the Organdy Ribbon Combo Pack, a set of 5 spools of organdy ribbon in 5 different colours, free with a purchase of $60 or more. If you were to purchase the Wonderful Romance Bundle (stamp set and dies featured here) you would win a Sale-A-Bration Reward of your choice, perhaps this ribbon combo pack.
Do you have a copy of the Occasions Catalogue and the Sale-A-Bration Brochure yet? If not you can find links to download the PDF versions on the right sidebar here on my blog or by clicking on the following links:

I'm looking for lots of new Demonstrators to join my team during this Sale-A-Bration period and this is certainly the time to do it!
