Sweet Sunday Sentiment

It's time for this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch, SSSC67. You'll find the sketch on Karen Giron's blog, The Sweetest Thing.

For my card today I decided to make something completely outside my normal style. This idea came to me as soon as I saw this week's sketch. I recalled seeing a twisted ribbon flower tutorial on someone's blog several months ago (sorry, I can't recall who you are, but if it's you, please let me know so I can give proper credit) and knew it would be perfect for this sketch. Plus, my Signature Greetings from Papertrey Ink arrived this week and these sentiments are pretty enough to take center stage on a card.

I stamped the sentiment with chocolate craft ink and embossed it with clear detail powder to give it a little more presence. I used my corner chomper to chomp the top right corner of the white panel then did a little paper piercing border. The white panel is layered onto Prism frosted pink (which I ran through my textile Cuttlebug folder) and chocolate chip. As if there wasn't already enough texture with the flower and cuttlebug folder, I wanted the ribbon strips to have some interest so I pleated the green one and stitched it "saddle stitch style" before adding two ribbon leaves. I tried adding different elements to the flower center but nothing looked as good as the plain flower.

I hope you'll play along with this week's sketch and link your creation to Karen's blog. Now it's time to see what the rest of the Sweet Sunday Stampers created with this week's sketch.
